Description
This travel writing course is created to help you break into the industry and build a career in it. I've used my working knowledge of the industry to help create it, and it's structured to suit complete beginners as well as those who already have a couple of bylines under their belt but want to build on that momentum.

I'll be sharing my tried and tested tips on everything from finding a great story to writing a pitch that an editor will actually read and commission. I will also share what sort of publications pay and how much they pay. I want you to have a realistic expectation of the world of travel writing today so I will be diving into the highs and lows of the job as well. And because travel writing is still my full time job, all of the tips I share are relevant to those entering the industry today.

I won't lie. Travel writing is a tough and competitive industry to break into. And it's probably not going to make you rich. But it will give you a lot of incredible experiences and plenty of stories to tell.

To build a successful career, you'll need persistence and determination - and that's something that this course can't give you. But if you want to learn the basics and build on those skills then you'll find everything you need in this course.
