There is a big secret to becoming a successful travel writer; finding success isn’t as difficult as you might think. The business of travel journalism is not always about award-winning writing, it’s also about competent writing. Newspapers and magazines are constantly on the lookout for competent material, and your articles don’t necessarily have to be literary masterpieces. So there’s no need to feel intimidated even as a beginner.
There are no rules to being a travel journalist. You don’t have to be gifted, or need any specialised skills or qualifications. All you need is the desire to succeed and the willingness to work. Your success relies almost entirely on knowing how to approach the craft of travel writing.
