Get Hard-Won Knowledge You Can Use in a Small, Interactive Group

Unlike webinars where hundreds of participants join to listen to a writer who typically just speaks of their achievements, Intrepid Times’ occasional workshops are designed to give you results. Attendance is kept strictly limited, giving you plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Instead of feeling more confused, you’ll come away with motivation, clarity, and confidence that you can go out there and achieve bigger things with your writing than you could ever imagine before. We’ll provide you with crystal-clear notes and access to the exclusive recording so you can always refresh your memory.

We’ll meet on Zoom and welcome writers from around the world. The event will be recorded and the recording shared strictly with registered attendees. Allow at least 90 minutes for the event including time for your questions.

Spaces are strictly limited. We keep the group small to allow you to ask your questions and to provide a comfortable platform where we can tell real truths and share techniques that won’t be diluted through overuse. The event will be recorded and the recording and notes will be shared exclusively with attendees who register in advance.

This could be the single biggest decision you make to establish yourself as a professional, published independent travel writer next year. Your investment in attending including access to the recording & notes is $75 USD.

 

You’re about to gain access to the wisdom of one of the most experienced travel writers working today We can teach you what we know, putting it into practice is up to you. Your success will depend on a range of factors, some you can control, some you cannot, and we make no guarantees of any kind whatsoever regarding the results you may experience after the seminar and when putting these techniques and strategies into practice. Like all worthwhile journeys, venturing out into the world as a travel writer is a risky undertaking, please keep this in mind before registering above.
