Becoming A Travel Writer
Things That Every Aspiring Travel Writer Should Know
For anyone who's looking to get into travel writing, it is
important to have had some experience in traveling. It is
essential. This is where a writer obtains the materials that
will become the stories that will end up on paper.
Get acquainted with the road and its demands. It is advisable
for future traveler writers to immerse themselves into different
cultures. Whenever traveling abroad, absorb the local scene. If
possible, try to experience more than the regular tourist route.
Get to know the people and learn from their customs. Try to pick
up something that is original to that region. Capture the
essence of the place. This way, there'll be plenty to write
about when it's time to pick up the pen.
When not traveling read up on the business of travel writing!
Read travelogues, brochures, road books, travel magazines, etc.
This way an inspiring travel writer gets more acquainted with
the trade.
Very few writers make a living out of writing alone; so it is
important to have something to fall back on, in case the writing
gig doesn't work. Writers have to be practical when it comes to
their expectations. A writing career doesn't happen over night.
Sometimes, it takes years for a writer to get some type of
recognition.
Don't use this as an excuse to give up though. Aspiring travel
writers should continuously send their work out. Even if they
get rejection letters after rejection letters. Don't take this
personally. Editors are very specific about the type of work
they accept.
That it why it is important to study the market before a writer
starts sending his or her work. Evaluate the market. Find out
exactly what each magazine, e-zine, newspaper, etc, is after.
This will increase a writer's chances of getting published.
Remember, just because one is writing about traveling, doesn't
mean that one can get away with bad writing! Make sure the
quality of work that is being produced is up to standard.
The best way to achieve this standard is to keep on writing.
Even if a travel writer is not on assignment in some exotic
country, he or she can still do a lot of quality writing at
home. Even if the writing that is being done doesn't pertain to
traveling. The important thing is to write, write, and write.
Experiment with tones, perspectives, and different styles of
writing. This way when called to duty, a writer will be able to
easily unleash his or her magic with a drop of a hat, and dazzle
the editors with their brilliance!
