Being a travel writer

Here are some tips for making your travel content interesting and relevant. These don't really differ from any piece of writing you do. The principles are the same.


  • Target your feature to a specific market so you can tailor the content accordingly and write in the correct style and tone for the publication

  • Find a fresh angle

  • Write about what you know because that will make your piece credible

  • Answer these - What? Where? When? Why? How? Who?

  • Know what the point of your article is and emphasize this throughout

  • Write a great introduction

  • Keep the content tight - no flowery prose, no cliches, no unnecessary, complicated words, and show don't tell

  • Be accurate with your facts
