SATW Institute 2008

Sep 21, 2007   //   by Sandra Friend   //   Appearances, Travels, Writing  //  No Comments

Glass at Dr. Phillips HouseI’m pleased to announce I’ve been selected as assistant faculty for the SATW Institute of Travel Writing and Photography, held each January in Orlando. I attended the Institute for the first time last year, and found the instructors full of brilliant ideas on how to spin travel information into various income streams. They inspired me to ramp up my Florida Hikes! website, to start Candid Travels and to launch a variety of efforts, some sensible, some not so much, to cash in with online content.

If you have any interest in travel writing or travel photography and want the real skinny on the business, or are a working writer looking for ways to ramp up your income, consider joining us at the 2008 SATW Institute, based at the Courtyard at Lake Lucerne, a splendid little oasis in downtown Orlando.  See the website for details. The image above is one of the windows in the Dr. Philips House, where most of our meetings are held.
