"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.

I'm telling our visitors about the Travel Writers course, so it balances

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.
