Have you ever returned from a trip thinking, “I should write about this”?
About this Event

Travel writing is more accessible than many people realize, but the path is often very different from the glamorous version we imagine.

In this practical, encouraging workshop, award-winning author and travel writer Lizbeth Meredith pulls back the curtain on what travel writing truly looks like and how beginners can get started right away. Participants will learn where to publish, how to generate story ideas close to home, and how to turn meaningful experiences into compelling narratives.

Whether your goal is publication, personal storytelling, or simply capturing your journeys more vividly, this session will give you the tools and confidence to begin.

About the teacher:

Lizbeth Meredith is an award-winning author, speaker, and resilience advocate who has traveled to all seven continents after beginning adulthood on public assistance. She writes about adventure, reinvention, and the transformative power of travel.

Her work has appeared in A Girl’s Guide to Travelling Alone, Matador Network, and Alaska Magazine. She is the editor and a contributor to Unmapped: Solo Women Travelers – Bold Journeys of Healing, Resilience, and Self-Discovery, an anthology highlighting stories of courage, growth, and exploration.
