Here's the full scoop from Viscape:

Viscape University’s next big (and free!) event on March 2, 2009 at 7:30 PM EST and will bring together some of the top travel writers and bloggers to talk about their trials, tribulations, and successes in the travel writing and blogging industry!

Travel Writing: Penning Your Way to a Career (or, at least, a very adventurous new hobby!)

Don’t miss this must attend event for aspiring travel writers because it is going to be the largest and most informative virtual meet-up of travel writers ever!

Our expert panel of travel writers will cover topics like:

* How to Get Started – blogging and print

* Motivation: How to Get it and More Importantly, How to Keep it!

* The Ethics of the Pen (Yeah, that’s a Big One!)

* Make Yourself Stand Out in the Crowd (Tips, Tricks, and PR)

Expert panelists include:

*Debbie Dubrow, creator of Delicious Baby, has two kids of her own and one goal: making traveling fun for the whole family.

*Claire Walter, award winning author, may live in Colorado, but she's been jet-setting around the world for years and sharing her insights on her blog,
Travel Babel, since 2006.

*Shannon Lake (aka Cajun Mama), writer for Traveling Mamas, hails from Southern Louisiana.
She seems to have tried it all as a musician, freelance writer, and seemingly full-time traveler.

*Shawn Bradford of Olga, the Traveling Bra helps you keep abreast of Olga's latest adventures. After a mini-midlife crisis, Olga grabbed her good friend Shawn, and they have been globetrotting and taking wild pictures ever since.

*Beth Blair (aka Desert Mama), another Traveling Mama, has worked as a flight attendant, trading in her winged label for travel writing, but now -- she only flies for pleasure!

Get your questions answered live and in person (well, virtually) by someone who’s literally been there and done that!

Please send your RSVP to RSVP@viscape.com so we can save you a seat! Space is limited and registration is on a first-come, first serve basis.
