What viewers are saying:
“I had broken into freelance writing about 4 years before I was introduced to Gabi. I wrote a small magazine column and contributed a web piece here and there, but despite traveling to 20 countries and living abroad for 3 years, I struggled with organizing my ideas and pitching publications to keep a steady supply of new work.
Simply put, I’ve learned more in the few months that I’ve been a member of the Dream of Travel Writing Database and listening in on Gabi’s seminars than I have in 4 years of working in the industry.
Gabi is a wealth of knowledge and I feel fortunate to have been influenced by her expertise. Ideas come to me more easily now and I’m gradually tackling my biggest challenge – keeping my pitch prep time to a minimum.
All of this has been accomplished by applying the tips that Gabi shares. I consider discovering her one of the best things to happen to my writing this year.”

“Your sessions on interviewing clients was SO helpful! I just wanted to thank you again for these very helpful webinars. I always get key information that I need! For example, what to include (and not to include) in a pitch. I’ve been making some of those mistakes! And today’s webinar on interviews, and the attitude to have going in (I’m doing them a favor by writing about them!)
These nuggets are so great, and I just want you to know I appreciate your sharing them with all of us.
I felt so much more confident going into the interview, and I had guidelines, thanks to you, about what to be asking and looking for. For example,
1) I didn’t ask questions that I could get answered elsewhere;
2) I didn’t ask yes/no questions – I had prepared just a few open-ended questions that really opened up the conversation
3) Finally, I was looking for that one good quote, as you strongly suggested, and I got it.I can’t thank you enough for helping me gain these skills as a travel writer!“
