I am the board’s newly appointed commercial director, which means I am looking after benefits and facilities for members as well as taking on the financial director role – so I have two hats.
I am currently in talks with Arvon Foundation and am hoping to get some sort of member discount in return for me helping them with suggestions for tutors for a new travel writing course.
I don’t know all the membership, particularly anyone who has joined since we were last able to get together face-to-face and so would love people to put themselves forward if they feel this is something they would like to be involved in.
Previous teaching experience is key and you would be paired with an established Arvon tutor to deliver an intensive week of zoom lessons, and paid appropriately.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, then please can you send an email to me at antonia@bgtw.org outlining your experience, your publications and what aspect of travel writing you would like to teach and how you would approach it.
I can then forward these to Arvon to make their selection.
On another note please also share with me your favourite places to buy work-related materials, subscriptions, courses etc that you would like me to negotiate a Guild discount for.
