Love Travel, Want to Write and Get Paid, could you do it?

Absolutely

Here's my top tip for all travel writers:

Think small, earn big

What does it mean?

Forget the big picture

Focus

Why?

The tighter the angle, the more original your feature will be

The more original, the easier to sell

and best of all

Multiple angles mean multiple sales from a single trip

How?

Think of an activity: bird watching, painting, hiking, yoga

Think of a local journey, boat, train, bus

Think festivals / culture /museums / castles

Check out wedding / honeymoon venues

Review a hotel

Write about food and wine

Imagine a city break, 48 hours in...

Attractions: for families, seniors, couples

Body and soul: spa, massage, inspiring location

Natural world: parks and reserves, wildlife, eco-friendly farms and lodges

'These are just a few of my favourite things'

Each one worth 1000 words

but

to make the most of your trip:

do some research before you go

You might not follow every single idea 

but the more you have, the better

More angles, more features

More cash for your next trip

Best job in the world
Travel writing...
 Are you kidding?

Absolutely not

But competition's growing, market's shrinking...

Is that really true?

 I don't think so

There are plenty of how to books out there keen to 'dispel the myth', 'tell it as it is' but I'm in the business of encouraging writers, not scaring them off.

Sure, there's more to it than setting off with laptop and camera in tow: there's work to do, determination to maintain and dreams to keep alive.

But like any other job, the harder you work, the greater the rewards but if you want to make money, you need to market your work.

Sell, sell, sell...

But where?

All over the world, just check it out on the web, loads of markets, everything you could want and more, at your fingertips.
Research, pitch, click and off you go.
Print or on line, there's no limit to what you can do.

Did you know that over 80 countries use English as their official language?

Or that 99% of in-flight magazines publish travel articles in English?

There is room for everyone but the easy way to start is to look beyond the obvious.
Glossy travel mag. attract big names, that's where the competition is harder to beat.

Think:

Weekly magazines ( for women/men)

Health and Lifestyle

Property

Special interests /Hobbies / Sports

Trade publications
Smaller airlines

Regional magazines

Seniors, parents and so on...

Travel is about places and people.
  Thousands of publications all over the world are looking for stories like yours.

Are you prepared to give it a go?

Help is at hand

Motivation, encouragement and loads of practical tips.
Just 100 pages between you and success.

Enjoy and see you on the road

Travel Writing? Go Local, Taste the Food...

'Fried spiders, madame? Favourite snack in my country...I've got fat ones and spindly ones, long legs really nice. See this little one, crunchy like a prawn, you try?'

I close my eyes, imagine it's pink, fresh from the sea, and down it goes, reluctantly. I buy a bagful...for the guide.

But if you can't manage spiders, or sheep's eyes, don't worry...

There's plenty of mileage in food for travel writers.

Why? It's colourful, fragrant, tasty, surprising and we all have to eat.

As a feature in its own right or part of the bigger picture, food will add zest to your writing and, believe me, editors love it too.

That's just one of the 'winning ideas' you'll find in this quick and easy guide to travel writing.

Special offer on Amazon, hurry while it lasts...
