  • how to land free trips
  • how to get paid really, really well for your writing
  • how to get on magazine editors’ good sides
  • how to navigate every step of the process to land travel content marketing work, including phone calls and proposals
  • how to keep your hourly rate down so your bank account goes up
  • how to get work done on the road
  • how to write, step-by-step, 15 different types of travel articles
  • how to land guidebook and other traditional publishing deals

You can grab access to all of our past webinars (and a ton of other resources you can’t find anywhere else) with a subscription to our Dream Buffet or grab them one-by-one when you need them in our On-Demand Webinar Library for a set with the video, audio, transcript, and slides.

But we also air a free replay of one of our travel writing classes each and every weekday.

Each weekday at 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 10pm GMT / 11pm CET (and 9am AEDT Tues-Sat), we show one webinar from our archives, rotating through all of them over the course of four months.

Here’s what we’ve got for you this week:

Monday, November 2, 5pm EST: Don’t Create “Ideas” Out of Nowhere: How to Always Find Them When You Need Them

I’ve found the process of coming up with the right ideas is much more of an issue than actually writing the pitch. Once you’ve got the idea right, the rest comes much more easily.

In this webinar, we work in detail through three different ways to generate ideas from magazines and three ways to come up with ideas “from thin air”. Never be worried about *what* to pitch again.

Tuesday, November 3, 5pm EST: How to Hone Your Travel Article Ideas to Perfectly Fit Each Magazine

In this webinar we workshopped article concepts into ready-to-pitch, focused ideas with multiple angles matched to specific magazines.

I pre-matched them with specific sections from multiple magazines and walked through the process of honing an article “idea” from your concept into something adapted to a magazine and ready to pitch.

Wednesday, November 4, 5pm EST: How to Use the Travel Magazine Database to Power Up Your Pitches

Experienced pitchers dive right in and start pounding out queries and increasing their income, but newer writers (or those new to pitching) need more dot connecting in terms of how the sections in a magazine that are open to freelancers translate to the actual words on the page of a pitch.

In this webinar, I not only walk through some different ways to use the database that can open up new avenues for your pitching but also write some pitches live based on sections in the database to show how it’s done.

Thursday, November 5, 5pm EST: How to Craft the Perfect Travel Article Pitch

You can take workshop after workshop on how to write the perfect travel article, but if your pitches aren’t landing assignments, it’s all for naught. In this webinar, we walk step-by-step through what you need to know to write the perfect pitch–and everything that you should leave out.

Friday, November 6, 5pm EST: The Art of The Follow Up – The Simple Key to Dramatically More Assignments

We’ll talk about timing, scripts, and mechanics of following up with editors on your pitches.

If you have tricky editor responses you aren’t (or weren’t if they’ve come in in the past and you let the coals go cold because you weren’t sure what to do) sure how to respond to, please send them my way!

I’d love to anonymously share some more unusual or downright awkward editor responses and how to handle them.
