Travel Writing Markets

by Ally

894538_the_road.jpgSo you wanna be a travel writer? (Me too!)

While updating my bookmarks, I’ve dug up some some potential markets for your latest travel copy. All of the following sites are currently accepting submissions or queries. I wish you the BEST OF LUCK!

The Cultured Traveler is currently accepting reprints of any travelogues to which you have full reprint rights. Although this won’t work for new writers looking to break into the market, those with previosuly published articles, or perhaps even old blog posts will benefit.

Adventure Journey is looking for the “soul” of your trip. Only features are paid, though.

The Matador Bounty Board is consistently updated, and I can personally vouch for David, one of Matador’s editors- a great guy with a great little addition to his workload ;). The Bounty Board includes postings from Matador and from other travel sites looking for writers. I check it weekly, you should too!

Literary Traveler wants to know if you’ve ever taken a journey inspired by literature. As usual, it’s recommended that you read their current articles to get a feel for tone.

Brave New Traveler isn’t interested in reading your travelogues, but instead seeks current news, travel related reflection and tips. Since they are specifically blog-based, be sure to follow their length and style guidelines.

Looking for a little writing inspiration before you tackle all those queries? Be sure to check out Write Anyway.
