PR Writing Course

How can you get the media’s attention?

What do Australia and New Zealand’s top travel media want in news items and story pitches? What format, tone and style do they prefer? How do they want images? What about follow-up?

Learn all this and more in a half-day writing workshop for PRs, marketers, agents and operators that includes feedback from 30 of Australia and New Zealand’s leading travel editors, freelancers and digital content creators.

Taught by award-winning travel writer Rob McFarland (that’s me!), the workshop also includes a valuable toolkit of planning, writing and editing techniques plus a detailed post-course review of a press release or story pitch.

“This course was incredible. I gained so much insight and invaluable tips.”
Alice, Director, Elysee Collective
