And for those in the San Francisco area:
Larry Habegger, Executive Editor at Travelers’ Tales, still has a few spots open in his advanced travel writing workshop series. The first of seven classes will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, October 10th, from 7-9 p.m. near AT&T Park in San Francisco. Larry has designed the class around a small class size, which allows students to work on three stories over the course of seven weeks. For more information, check out www.LarryHabegger.com.
