There are still places left on The Creative Hub 6-week Travel Writing and Photography Course which starts on Tuesday, 13 September. This course is designed to introduce you to the skills required by expert travel writers, to help you craft your experiences into stories that can be published, and to gain an insight into how the travel industry works and what an editor is looking for. In addition, the course features two travel photography workshops – what sort of pictures are travel editors looking for, and what should you know if you take your own camera on assignment?

Tutor Yvonne van Dongen is one of New Zealand’s most respected travel writers and editors. As Travel Editor of the New Zealand Herald and, subsequently, Travel Editor of onHoliday Magazine, she has won numerous awards, including Best Tourism and Travel Column in the Qantas Media Awards, Lifestyle Journalist of the Year, two Commonwealth Media Awards, and Cathay Pacific Media Writer of the Year. Yvonne is joined by photographer Greta Anderson, who has worked for publications as diverse as Wallpaper, the Australian Financial Review, New Zealand Herald, onHoliday Magazine and NZ Life & Leisure. A multi-award-winning photographer with a BFA from Elam and a Master of Visual Arts from the Sydney College of the Arts, she has lectured in photography at Elam, Unitec and the Sydney College of the Arts. www.gretaanderson.com. Yvonne and Greta have worked together in the past and make the perfect team for this inspiring course.
