I was delighted to earn my first commission for BBC Travel while I was still completing the course, so the financial investment in the course has already paid for itself.

The idea of earning enough money writing while travelling at the same time was always a dream of mine, and I feel so lucky to be in this position.

I learned how to make myself heard in the huge global market, where so many good writers disappear in an instant. I also learned that good writing is manifestly important, but knowing where to place my work, how to develop contacts, and how to phrase my pitches in the most convincing way, is essential.

My course tutor delivered some great feedback to me on each of my assignments, which gave me some excellent structure for writing more formal pieces for publishing.

I find that travel journalism is a specialty art form like no other and the course gave me an opportunity to look at my travel writing in an entirely different light.
Read Success StoryDanielle D
There is no way I would have had the confidence to approach these types of companies unless I felt well equipped and ready to compete with the big guns. The course has given me that confidence but also taught me the winning formula that is needed to get a foot in the door in this hard to crack industry.
