    EP 2: Travel Writing Without Constant Travel

    This week's episode of Inside Travel Writing tackles one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry: that you need to be constantly on the road to build a travel writing career. Host Lindy Alexander (a self-described homebody who burnt out from over-traveling) makes the case that the key to travel writing isn't the destination, it's your ability to find stories. Lindy uses her own small regional town as a case study, walking through the surprising range of pitchable stories hiding in a place she considers entirely ordinary. She also shares a practical search strategy for scoping out what's already been written about a destination (and how to find the gaps worth pitching). If you have family or work commitments, a body that's done with long-haul travel, or simply prefer sleeping in your own bed, this episode is for you. Love the show?

    EP 1: The 3 Pitching Mistakes Good Travel Writers Make (and How to Fix Them)

    This week’s episode of Inside Travel Writing breaks down three pitching mistakes even good writers make and how to fix them: including irrelevant information, not giving enough attention to the headline/subject line, and sending pitches that are too vague. If your travel pitches are being met with silence or rejections, one of these three issues is often the cause, and diagnosing it is the first step to improving. Love the show?
