Have you ever wondered about travel writing retreats? Lisa Daily and Cami Ostman take authors on travel retreats for writing and are loving the results.
In this podcast episode we discuss:
- Adventure Writing - Why Travel is THE Way Hone Your Craft
- Travel is the best thing we know to spark an adventurous spirit and inspire creativity
- Travel WRITING offers opportunities to be inspired by PLACE and CHARACTER like nothing else.
- The Wayfaring Writer Retreats - a rare opportunity for a small group of writers to immerse themselves in their craft while experiencing the food, drink, art, and history of foreign places
- Writers to step out of their comfort zones and into using all their senses.
- Together Cami and Lisa have visited nearly 50 countries and know first-hand the impact that travel has had on their writing
Lisa Dailey is an avid traveler and writer. In 2015, she traveled around the world with her husband and two teenage sons visiting 14 countries and nearly 100 locations. In her time abroad, she unearthed new ways of looking at her life through her discoveries in remote corners of the world and she continues to enrich her life through travel. Lisa is a voracious reader and writer, and has published more than 20 titles and 200 authors at her company, Sidekick Press, including her own travel memoir, Square Up. A native Montanan, Lisa now makes her home by the ocean in Bellingham, Washington, but returns to her roots every summer for a healthy dose of mountains and Big Sky.
