January 30, 2009, I attended the Canadian Author's Association-Alberta Branch workshop, Writing Elsewhere, Artfully, led by Marcello Di Cintio. Although I have already written and edited a significant amount of travel content, including tourism guides, safety advice, and foreign travel guidelines, I chose to attend this workshop to discover more about the craft of inserting one's own experience into travel writing.
Di Cintio made it clear that different work comes from writers who travel, as opposed to travelers who write. Although the Earth has been so fully explored, there are still endless stories to tell as writers who travel explore landscapes and discover the experiences of people around the globe.
My next book is a travel guide exploring the many things to see and do within a few hours of Edmonton, Alberta's capital city. Day Trips From Edmonton is scheduled for release by Whitecap Books in about April 2009.
Alberta is host to some of Canada's most stunning scenery, from aspen forests and farmland to wetlands and foothills. Many of the province's natural wonders, cultural treasures, historical sites and recreational spots are within a two-hour drive of Edmonton. Day Trips from Edmonton is a comprehensive guide to Alberta's best destinations-visit secluded, untouched natural areas or hotspots bustling with activities. It includes maps and photographs, and features an easy-to-follow format catered to suit the traveler's needs.
