The Filipinas Heritage Library is conducting a Travel Writing and Blogging workshop
Traveling is a way to open yourself up to the culture of the Philippines and the world. Travelers love to get together and share their experiences – the things they’ve seen, dishes they’ve eaten, people they’ve met. The sharing of experience has become faster, richer, and more accessible with the rise of online travel journals or blogs. Through them, we are able to discover new places at the click of a mouse. These travel pieces also help us prepare for our own journeys as we learn from those who went before us.
Join your fellow travel enthusiasts and view the historic churches of Manila! Be updated on some of the best online travel writing and learn how to create your own piece.
The facilitator, April Yap, is a PhD Candidate in Creative Writing at UP Diliman. She has written for magazines such as Metro Society, Preview, and Playboy. April has published creative non-fiction work, in particular her two books “Stressed in the City,” and “Ohmygosh! The Unbearable Lightness of Being Burgis.” Her travel and food notes can be found at www.dishesandplaces.wordpress.com.
The workshop fee is Php 4,000 inclusive of workshop handouts and materials, tour, transportation, handouts, materials, meals, and a certificate. A down payment of Php 2,000 is required for slot reservation. The deadline for reservations is September 16, 2011. A Php 500 discount will be given to those who pay in full on or before the deadline.
