In October the acclaimed travel writer Rory Maclean joins the family, landscape and nature blogger Mark Charlton on a journey from books to blogs and back again. Through workshops, tutorials and discussions, Rory and Mark will look at how to create engaging and personal writing, exploring the potential for publication in both new media and more traditional forms.
