"The work I do today is the stuff
of dreams... stress-free, romantic, fun. And all sorts of everyday people
do it. Like me, they've left behind the drudgery of 9-to-5... the brainless
monotony... the boring desk job... and today they get paid to follow their
bliss. Care to join us? As far as I'm concerned, it's the best job in the
world. Who wouldn't want to travel the globe and get paid for it?" Steenie
Harvey - Freelance Travel Writer |

Steenie Harvey is right.
Travel writing sets us free to pursue more than a monotonous humdrum life
plus it also allows us to live where we want to live. Travel writing
has become an art form, but it is an art form that can be learned like
any other skill.
Travel writing today has become a
major form of literature. A number of twentieth century travel writers
have set new standards of what it means to be a travel writer. Travel
writers such as Bruce Chatwin, Paul Theroux, Isabella Tree and Robert D.
Kaplan have gone beyond the traditional concepts of travel writing and
brought their own personality into their writing. Such writing has
crossed over from being simply travel writing into being 'literature',
or in the case of Robert D. Kaplan into being geo-political analysis based
on facts, history and being on the ground where the action is. Bruce
Chatwin's ability to mix fact and fiction in his 'stories' created an entire
new genre of travel writing.
Travel writing is an art that can
be learned; and once learned it is a skill that allows one to make a living
from anywhere in the world.

The Sunday sections of newspapers
want travel articles, magazines want travel articles, travel companies
want travel articles. We don't have to become world class writers
to be travel writers, but we do have to learn the skill of travel writing,
just as we have to learn the skill of cooking to become chefs.
....but travel writing is a skill that can be taught, and International
Living Magazine has a course on Travel Writing that is absolutely perfect
for those who want to live overseas. They also have a travel writers
workshop that is held in various locations around the world; Paris, New
York, Buenos Aires and in other exciting destinations.

Starting out as a Travel
Writer can earn you money and allow you to travel, but developing a strategy
is a prerequisite to making a full income as a writer. It is crucial
that every assignment, and every location be turned into a number of spin-offs;
which means other articles on other subjects for other periodicals derived
from the same trip. There is a market for good articles, and once
you've convinced one newspaper to take an article in their Sunday section
the next magazine or newspaper becomes easier as you develop a list of
periodicals in which your by-line appears.

I want if graduates of the course submit articles to EscapeArtist.com on
living abroad or on international real estate." - Roger Gallo - EscapeArtist.com
