We’re mid-way through the Spring 2010 season and a new slate of classes are starting up soon. Food and Travel Writing will teach you how to turn The Worst Family Vacation Ever into a great essay. Or are you a foodie at heart? Then swing those skills into money-making magazine articles. In this four-week class we’ll explore our relationship with food, family, emotion and identity.

Kate Ancell, who has written for just about every magazine under the sun, is teaching this class. I took Freelance Magazine Writing with Kate last semester, and let me tell you, this lady is a hoot! Not only does she know every dirty detail about the magazine biz, she will have you falling off your chair with laughter at her stories, quips and weird words of wisdom.

But the class isn’t just about fun. You’ll also examine essays by MFK Fisher, Julia Reed, Bill Bryson and Calvin Trillin. You’ll have plenty of opportunity write with in-class prompts, homework, and finally workshop sessions to hone your story. Visit our website to learn more about this class or register.
