» debag - travel writing careers

I am interested in a career as a travel writer. I would like to submit articles about destination sites and interesting historic/cultural sites to the public for promotion. I haven't been able to find very much information about this type of writing career. Any information would be helpful to me and possible others. Thank you.

Debra,

I would suggest contacting the editors for Suite101's topics on Resources for Writers and Freelance Writers for suggestions.

I subscribe to the Magwrite mailing list (for magazine writers), and today someone posted about a newsletter for travel writers. It requires a $60 per year subscription, and tells writers about new markets, payscales, editors specs, trips,
books, magazines, newspapers, travel tips , likely target publications,
competitors, etc. It's at: http://www.travelwriterml.com

I also found a short article titled "10 Tips for Travel Writers"at http://www.freelancesuccess.com/tentrave... .

Good Luck!

Debbie

» FadeAwayAngel - Frustrating Development

I'm currently attending a college in order to secure a future career, but recently I've been torn between it and my ultimate passion: writing. I really love writing, especially the series I've been planning over the past few years, and I was wondering if there was a way to make writing a part-time job while I'm here at college.
