SATW Institute
Graduates' Comments

"I've attended dozens and dozens of workshops, seminars and conferences on writing, and I found this the most beneficial of all."   

Selected comments from registrants at recent SATW Institute for Travel Writing & Photography sessions:

"Just wanted to drop a note to say thanks for a great educational experience, much more than just a seminar."
 
"What a great institute! I really had no idea that it would be of such high quality and intensity. My desire to  find a diversion from the seemingly endless process of writing and  doing the digital work on the bike book and websites led me to sign up last weekend. I'm so glad I did. You have a terrific faculty and ran the sessions with timing that earned you one of the series of long applause from all of us for your leadership, warmth and devotion to supporting participants and their aspirations."

• "Well worth the money—invaluable info & networking."

• "Value for money? Yes, and then some!"

• "Excellent." . . . "Yes, thank you!" . . . "Absolutely, yes."

• "It was so well-organized, so interesting and so helpful. I really enjoyed it, and particularly appreciated the contract and legal tips the faculty shared with us."

• "Exhausting, rewarding, thought-provoking, fulfilling and well worth the money."

• "Very high value. I hope to return after my first guide for a refresher."

• "What a stroke of luck that Meredith Babb was at the seminar. I had erroneously thought that University Press was primarily academic, so I had not sent my comprehensive book proposal to them. When Meredith spoke at the seminar, she corrected my misconception. Thank goodness. Long story short. We had lunch one day, and I pitched her two book ideas, and then gave her my book proposal just in case. Miracles do happen. University Press of Florida decided to take me on for my Orlando Guide to Arts & Culture book. I'm thrilled."
