Travel Writing Program
You become part of a continually evolving community of educators and students invested in long-term networking and advancement of their careers as writers, bloggers, journalists, and new media professionals.
Overview
MatadorU’s Travel Writing Program will teach you a solid foundation in writing, how to pitch a query or story to an editor, how to build an online presence and audience, and, in general, how to work as a new-media professional, whether a freelance writer, blogger, or unique mix of jobs that allows one to live off of travel and writing.
Flexible Options
Whether students are just beginning and need extra guidance and assistance, or they’re already experienced writers seeking information on social media and branding, MatadorU’s community of students and teachers is responsive, with dedicated staff offering specific feedback both individually and in group workshops.
“I am a Matador ADDICT! I have been writing for almost 3 decades, belong to SATW, have written 40+ books including a NYT bestseller, and scour every post from the Matador daily newsletter. I learn so much! Currently I travel at least twice a month, mostly on press trips, but in September after I finish writing a contracted biography of Stephen Colbert, I will become a full-time traveler.” - Lisa Rogak

“It was the best thing I could’ve done. The tuition and support is amazing, and it’s given me lots of confidence in my ability to write.”
“Thank you so much for helping me focus on writing and making this dream come true. Since I started this course, 3 articles have been published on a regional magazine and more will be in the near future. They also asked for a permanent collaboration!”
“The skills I developed at Matador allowed me to build and launch my own website, NomadicMatt.com and now I literally live off the income generated from my site.”
“When you land your first assignment, your editor is not going to explain to you what to do. This course prepares you for that first assignment and writing the pitch letter that will get you there. ”
“The MatadorU Travel Writing Course is an incredible way to make connections. I have befriended both students and editors from all over the world.”
“Matador definitely knows what they’re doing and in this course they literally give you a playbook to make it happen yourself.”
