Identity - The Blended Learning Book for Writers

Identity - the self-study course-book  

I am delighted to announce that our summer school for writers is now available in book-form for self-study. The short course explores your identity as a writer through place-making texts, activities and an online lecture in YouTube.



The blended-learning course also gets you started with dialogue journaling on Google Drive so you will need Gmail and a free Google Account to make the most of the teaching materials.

The E-Book was originally launched on Google Play Bookstore and is now on Amazon Kindle and also as an Amazon Independent A6 paperback. All of the three formats give you access to the activities online, so you can choose your preferred format from these below

This course is set at the equivalent of a level 4 course as studied at UK universities. The course assumes a very good knowledge of UK English and will help you to develop your writing skills in this language. This book is your course-book. It is designed as an eBook to be bought online from stores such as Google Play Books, and, once downloaded, can be used on your smart phone. In this way the Travel Writer’s Award course is with you at all times, in your pocket and ready to study. A pocket paperback version is also available on Amazon. 


The Literary Travel Writer

The travel writer that this course aims to develop is a literary travel writer. The learning material here is for travel bloggers and those working in destination management and city branding as they consider what makes places valuable to people. The word, literary, in literary travel writer is to show that the writing will hold and communicate this place value, through history, emotion and pleasure within the text itself. Along with an understanding of the places visited by the writer, literary travel writing also expresses and changes the identity of travel writers as they learn and become more accomplished. This leads directly to your first lab work on identity from the imaginary.

Imagining Tourists and Tourism Conference Paris

Imagining Tourists and Tourism Conference - Paris 19-21 June 2024 Aims of the Conference The conference aims to explore the links between tourism and fiction, and more precisely to consider tourism and tourists as fictions. It is part of a series of conferences organized since 2011 by researchers from the Universities of Geneva, Panthéon-Sorbonne and Berkeley to explore the links between tourism and the imaginary. The first four meetings had evoked how tourism mobilized imaginaries specific to destination countries, their landscapes, their cultures and their inhabitants. The fifth conference will focus on the imaginary that applies to tourists themselves. Imaginary tourists We will examine how the various actors of tourism, as well as the places and practices of tourism, appear in works of fiction. Literature, cinema, theater, song, advertising, etc., stage tourist configurations, which are sometimes at the very heart of these fictions.  Fictional tourists include those invented by the

Brežice, a place of mystery

Brežice, a place of mystery           Photo: Water tower in Brežice, Bine Leben, 20.1.2024     Travel writing from the University of Maribor, Faculty of Tourism. Masters Programme: English in Tourism – Higher Level 2    Author: Teja Leben     Mentor: Dr. Jasna Potočnik Topler     Brežice, a place of mystery     Already from afar, after the highway exit for Krško from the direction of Ljubljana, I notice the silhouette of Brežice, highlighted by the Water Tower and the bell tower of the Church of St. Lovrenc, which I read about before the trip. Both rise above the houses and grove of the old town. Otherwise, you can also see a few taller high-rise buildings next to them, but very few, so even from a distance it can be concluded that Brežice is a small town. I am on the right track, as I would like to discover something more about Brežice and share it with the world.     Photo: Brežice from highway,  Nina Lovrek, 21.1.2024     The confluence of the Sav
