Happy writing + travelling! - Lindy

This week's episode of Inside Travel Writing is all about the one thing that will determine whether you ever get invited on a press trip (and it's probably not what you think).

If your inbox is quiet and the invitations just aren't coming, there's usually a very specific reason why. In this episode, we get into what that reason actually is and the practical steps to change it.

Happy writing + travelling! - Lindy

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.
