Travel Writing – Opportunities & Realities
Presented by: Kay Winzenried
Writers Guild of Texas Meeting
Monday, August 16
7:00 -8:30 pm
Nearly every publication on the newsstand or Internet has a travel section. How can you seize the opportunity to turn your travels into saleable stories? Since re-engineering her career from fashion retailer to freelance writer, Kay Winzenried has published, posted and broadcast her travel experiences. She will share her insight and knowledge of what it's like to start from scratch and become a paid professional in an intensely competitive field where free words are becoming the norm.
Kay Winzenried is a freelance writer, photographer, and travel consultant. She is regular contributor to Fodor’s guidebooks and regional editor for the ZAGAT Restaurant Survey. Kay’s stories and photographs have appeared in national and regional magazines and online. She has been interviewed about her food, wine, and travel experiences on radio and television. In addition to writing and reviewing, Kay teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Southern Methodist University and hosts specialty travel programs for small groups.
