3.30pm Part 2: Travel Writing the best job in the world?

Moderated by Steve Keenan

Travel writing is often referred to as the perfect job. After all, isn't it just getting paid to do what other people save up for every year - is it anything more than a paid holiday? This session will allow the audience to ask any questions to the writers about their work and what is involved in getting their stories while trying to make a living. The aim is to explore the business of travel writing and discover whether it really is the dream job that some claim it to be.
