MatadorU’s online workshops give you access to portfolio reviews, reading series, and intensive instruction on pitching, narrative writing, and other subject areas from wherever you are.

Overview
MatadorU’s online workshops are an inexpensive and convenient way for writers, photographers, and students to receive instruction or personal review of their work.
In addition to general workshops in narrative travel writing, the current lineup of workshops includes specialized topics such as travel writing for mobile apps, producing soundslides or HDR photography, and a “book camp” for pitching work to editors.
Who are these workshops designed for?
The online workshops are recommended for working travel writers and / or photographers, as well as students and anyone else interested in developing new media skills or learning more about travel writing and photography.
