Travel Writing

During Monday’s travel writing class we had a visitor: Mary Jane Cryan, author of multiple travel writing books: Etruria - Travel, History and Itineraries in Central Italy, English Connection, Affreschi Exploring Etruria, and Travel to Tuscany.

 I bought her book Etruria-Travel, History and Itineraries in Central Italy. The book offers a wealth of information about the surrounding area’s history and evens suggested itineraries for day trips, some of which I hope to complete during my time here.  If you would like to see a picture of a few of my class members and I receiving her book click on the link below:

The internship would be working with a magazine editing and performing other various tasks. This, added on top of the opportunity to be published with Il La (“In Lazio” magazine), is opening my eyes to a part of the literate world I had never before been exposed to—except for the brief stint I had with the Penumbra literary journal.
