But we also air a free replay of one of our travel writing classes each and every weekday.

Here’s what we’ve got for you this week:
Monday, August 19, 5pm EST: The Difference Between the Photos You’re Shooting Now and What Magazines Are Publishing
Learn how to get the shots that editors need so you can get more assignments and make more money with your pieces.
We look at the shots that work online and those that most of us shoot most of the time and what the difference is in terms of the approach to shot format, variety, and composition to generate the types of photos magazines can use.
