Book Passage -- the Bay Area’s liveliest independent bookstore -- announced today that registration is open for the 27th edition of its world-famous Travel Writers and Photographers Conference, set to take place from August 9-12 in Corte Madera California. The conference has an extraordinary reputation among publishers, editors, and writers.

The collegial atmosphere of this four-day conference attracts participants and faculty from all over the world, such as legendary travel writer, Tim Cahill, and travel guide mavens including Pauline Frommer from Frommer Guides and Nikki Ioakimedes from Moon Travel Guides. Photography faculty staff includes renowned expedition photographer Gordon Wiltsie.
In addition, the conference offers participants many opportunities for formal and informal meetings with faculty during lunches and evening presentations. Avalon Travel, publisher of Rick Steves, Moon Travel Guides, Road Trip USA, and Andy Steves, will host a special reception for faculty and participants on the evening of Saturday, August 11.
