How to Find Your Niche as a Travel Writer
Jack Adler, professional travel writer and columnist has now published key secrets as a travel writer in the book "Make Steady Money as a Travel Writer." The book is packed with suggestion for articles, marketing tips, and key steps on improving your writing skills or putting a new edge of excitement in your articles.
Adler talks about the changing world of travel writing. He shows the reader how to discover marketable topics, with suggestion for hundreds of themes. He discusses marketing, the value of entering contests, as well as how to organize travel writing as a business and important IRS issues.
There are dozens of sample articles included from the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Chicago Sun Times, and several popular magazines. These samples demonstrate how to organize an article and how to develop your own personal writing style.
I personally found the chapters on initiating a travel column practical and motivating. The tips on setting up and conducting an interview were also helpful to me. Another special interest was the additional insight I received on queries and how to determine a special niche within the vast possibilities of travel writing.
A comprehensive resource list includes: Tourist offices, trade and travel associations, government service agencies, and a listing of other valuable websites for further exploration and research. A travel terminology glossary and an editorial glossary are extras that add to the importance of the book as a resource guide for future repeated reference.
Jack Adler writes with authority and clarity. "Make Steady Money as a Travel Writer" is a must for every travel writer's library.
