Love Travel, Love Writing, How to Sell? Spread your Wings...

Is the market shrinking in your corner of the world?

Think global

Over 80 countries use English as their official language

Check them out on the web

See what they publish

Lifestyle, in-flight magazines and more

Are glossy travel magazines just for famous writers?

Big names sell copies but no editor will turn down a brilliant idea

So if you have a riveting story to share, with images, go for it

Pitch before you write

Get off the destination track 

Most publications include travel of one kind or another

Choose a specific angle to increase your chances:

Interview, history, festival, hotel review, local transport, market, temple, visiting a school

Wherever you go, there's always a winning story

The tighter the focus, the better

Explore every niche

Look out for specialist publications

 Spa, honeymoons, health, outdoor activities, property
Heritage, hobbies, food and wine

                          

Families, seniors, singles, business, disabled, students

Vintage travel, railway magazines, cruising, canal boats

All have scope for a travel-related piece

Study general interest magazines

Top of the list, women's weeklies which need a lot of copy to fill their pages

Be sure to write for the readers

Add newspapers, county magazines, trade publications.

I could be tempted to throw in a few names but the publishing world is always changing, in with the new, out with the old at a moment's notice.

Got an idea?

Great but it's like the stock exchange 

Check the current market then go for it 

but remember to spread your wings in all directions and think small as well as big.
