Another Easy Approach to Writing Round-Ups - Jennifer
Stevens, author of The Ultimate Travel Writer’s Program defines a round-up
article as nothing more than a collection of short snippets about places
linked by a common thread. You write a few paragraphs that introduce your
"collection," and then you simply launch into each of the elements you're
profiling, addressing each one in a paragraph (or two or three) and then
moving on to the next.

Uncovering
The Best Story Ideas - Three Keys To Writing Articles Editors Want
- When you target a particular audience with your story idea,
it becomes a stronger idea. Here's what I mean: If I were to write to the
readers of Walking magazine about St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands,
my story would, most likely, be about the trails there -- the best walks,
the best guide, the best time of year to go, maybe the best "outdoors"
hotels to stay in. By Jennifer Stevens

The
Easiest And Fastest Way To Get A By-Line And A Check - Because
space is limited, so must be the size of the topic you choose. You can't
easily write a quick note about well-discovered Rome. Instead, you'd want
to narrow your topic considerably to something like a new museum exhibit
or maybe a shop that sells unusual gifts. As the editors at Marco Polo
Magazine put it in that publication's guidelines: "Don't send us an article
on Amsterdam; send us a front-of-the-book feature about a new, particularly
unique restaurant in the Dutch metropolis." By

The
One Thing Your Headline Should Avoid - And The One Thing It Must Do
- Headlines really do offer writers an important opportunity
to stand out from the crowd. - - And it really is, you know, a crowd you're
in. I think it's safe to say that most travel editors, save perhaps those
at the very smallest publications, receive at least 100 submissions a month.
Randy Curwen, Travel Editor at the Chicago Tribune told me he gets about
100 submissions a week. At the big glossies -- Travel + Leisure, National
Geographic Traveler, and the like -- about 1% of submissions actually make
it into print. By Jennifer Stevens.

The Internet To Work For You: 18 Must Have Links Every Travel Writer Should
Know About - Pre- and post-trip research doesn't have
to be (and shouldn't be) painful. The trick is knowing where to look. The
internet makes this a piece of cake. I used many of these links in preparing

Way To Sell More: Eight Guidelines To Follow When You're Writing About
Real Estate - You'll have the best luck gathering
the real estate information you need if you start your research ahead of
time. Begin by finding at least one real estate agent online and getting
in touch before your trip. Explain that you’re a freelance writer, you're
doing a real estate-focused article, and you're hoping he might meet with
you when you're in town and perhaps take you to see a few examples of properties
on offer. During your trip, pick up as many sample listings as you can.
Don't walk by a real estate office without sticking your head inside, introducing
yourself, and grabbing a listing sheet. By
