Mike Sedge Launches Third Annual Dolce Vita Writers' Holiday
If you are a professional writer/journalist/photographer, or have ever dreamed of becoming one, and enjoy wonderful Italian food and culture, put aside six days in March or October to visit and study in the rural setting of Tuscany.
In less than six days, speaking only English, you can improve three important segments of your life with the assistance of some of today’s top professionals. It’s called the Dolce Vita Writers' Holiday. You will call it an experience of a lifetime. Among other things, you’ll come away with the knowledge to launch your freelance career around the globe—and perhaps even a bit of Italian as you make new friends, tour the Tuscan countryside, and experience one-of-a-kind Mediterranean cuisine.
International marketing wizard Michael Sedge, author of 20 books such as THE WRITER’S AND PHOTOGRAPHER’S GUIDE TO GLOBAL MARKETS, MARKETING STRATEGIES FOR WRITERS and SUCCESSFUL SYNDICATION, along with Joel Jacobs, will be conducting this year’s March and October holidays.
"This is a unique opportunity for both novice and veteran writers to learn the skills of better writing, better marketing, and better living," explains Sedge. “We’ll be covering global marketing of articles and books, in an intense week of seminars, as well as fiction development and, if there is interest, even screenplays. It's also an opportunity to escape to the picture postcard setting of rural Italy, participate in excursions, and enjoy the art of Tuscan cooking."
This informative experience will be held at the 16th century, rural bed-and-breakfast lodging, Palazzo Bandino, and will include five sessions of writing and marketing, two afternoons of cooking classes, and two excursion to nearby towns such as Siena. Complete details of the lodging can be found on the Web at www.valerianigroup.com/bandino.html.
Michael Sedge, a former director-at-large for the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and owner of The Sedge Group, www.thesedgegroup.com, has worked for The Discovery Channel, Family Circle, Newsweek, Robb Report, Travel-Holiday, and hundreds of other national and international publications.
Widely read and traveled journalist, Joel Jacobs, is a 39-year veteran of the writing and publishing industry. His articles and photographs have appeared in hundreds of magazines and newspapers around the world, including The World of Beer, a four-color, international magazine distributed in 33 countries, published in Milan, Italy--where he was editor for several years. He currently resides in a small university town in Texas.
Cost for the seven-day Dolce Vita Writers' Holiday, including writing and marketing sessions, cooking classes, area tour, lodging, meals, and transportation to and from Rome, is just $2,200. Special discounted rates for friends or spouses.
"We considered including air transportation," explained Sedge, "but realized that some participants may want to extend their stay to, say, Rome, Florence, or some other part of Italy. By allowing participants to coordinate their own travel to and from Rome, they have that option."
