As travel writers, we put words together to paint pictures of the destinations we visit.
Writing about a place we love seems like such an easy thing to do. From the readers perspective, we live a charmed life.
But, as you know, there’s much more to your travel writing craft.
Things behind the scenes that your reader doesn’t know about:
All of this, and more, is part of writing.
There’s also a lot to learn about controlling your time, and freeing yourself up from mundane tasks so that you can spend more time on the things you love to do – writing and travel.
So, this page includes information about topics that focus on aspects of your travel writing craft. How you can improve your writing and increase your productivity – and get those articles out to the editors.
The simplest, and most effective way to improve your travel writing is to simply sit down and write every day.
As humans we tend to procrastinate. We think we need to be inspired before we can sit down and write. We’re wrong about that.
Inspiration shows up while we’re doing the work. Don't wait to get inspired.
