Yes, I get paid to travel, eat, and write about it! And you can too 👀
I got my start as a freelance writer. I was making $100/article for Paste Magazine in 2016 when they had a travel vertical.
After a while, I built a portfolio of freelance writing samples (find me on Muckrack!) and started to get invited on press trips as a member of the media.
Today, I make an average of $.50-$1/word for my freelance writing and am a 6-time national award winning travel journalist with bylines in National Geographic, TIME Magazine, Fodor’s Travel, and more.
How can you get started as a freelance travel writer in today’s digital landscape?
It’s simple…
You need to pitch your article idea to editors who will commission you for a writing assignment.
Lucky for you, there’s a very specific formula you can follow to highlight your expertise, the timeliness of coverage, and the fit of your article with the media outlet you’re pitching.
Let me show you!
I put together a 5-day travel writer pitching challenge that breaks down the who, what, where, when, and how of the perfect travel pitch.
