The Itinerants grouse and gossip about making it in the cold (or sometimes steamy) world of travel writing, at the monthly meeting of Bay Area Travel Writers.

Among the unvarnished truths they promise to tell:

  • how to critique each others’ work without breaking into catfights
  • where to find inspiration
  • how to think about marketing without selling your soul
  • why to work the Web
  • how to sell narratives in a world of “charticles” and “chunklets.”
