An Evening With Travelogue Author, Audrey Weitkamp

September 23, 2015 by gehrkenathalie Leave a Comment

20150604_144623Monday, September 28 (6:30 -8:00 p.m.) at the Montlake Library, free-lance author Audrey Weitkamp will share her expertise in creating travel memory books. She’ll tell us how to combine text, photos, and drawings to produce and self-publish professional-looking books. Not into travel? You can use the same ideas to create mementos for other occasions. Audrey will display a number of her own books and answer our questions about her works.

Audrey Weitkamp and her husband Bill have lived in the Montlake neighborhood for more than fifty years and raised their four children here. Audrey taught in both the Seattle Public Schools and the Seattle Hebrew Academy and tutored at the Valley School. She began her professional writing career by authoring an article for Learning, a teachers’ magazine, based on her family’s experience during a year’s residence in Zurich, Switzerland. She continued her career as a free-lance writer for magazines, often writing about her and Bill’s foreign travels and using his photographs for illustrations.

When Bill’s parents, once avid travelers, became house-bound, Audrey began self-publishing travel accounts combining her writing and Bill’s photos for their enjoyment. She claims her first travel account, describing their month-long bicycle trip in Japan, was decidedly amateurish-looking. The text was formatted with Microsoft Word, the photos were glued in afterwards, and the book was bound by Kinko. Now she uses an on-line publisher and is pleased that the books look so professional–and she’ll tell you how to do it.

Join Audrey Weitkamp and your neighbors on the 28th for the last in the 2015 Writers series of Montlake Unabridged, co-sponsored by the Montlake Library and your Montlake Community Club.
