Description
Brice Minnigh, former editor of the Vision and reporter for the Tennessean/ Nashville Banner, three years ago left behind the daily stress of a 15-year journalism career in Russia, Lithuania, China, and Hong Kong, for another kind of stress: the life of a freelance travel writer. Brice will discuss the "fine art" of trying to make a living writing about your passions, in his case going on extreme expeditions and trying to make them pay for themselves. He will also discuss how to salvage stories when things go wrong, as, for example, being hit by a truck while cycling in Tibet and having to spend the better part of a week getting yourself out of China. Brice will also talk about his two new books, the Rough Guide to Taiwan and the new Insight Guide to Southern China (which will be in bookstores this month).
