Want to write pitches that make a travel editor pounce? How do you write features that make an editor go “wow”? What are the ethics of travel writing? How do you get into travel media? What is ‘decolonising travel writing’? How can freelance travel journalists work ‘smarter’? How do you manage your mental health and wellbeing? Can we work better with travel PRs? How do you build and maintain good relationships with editors?

All this and more will be covered in upcoming professional development sessions aimed at travel journalists and writers, with panels featuring some of the best in the business. The latest webinar took place on Thursday 26th September 2024: ‘Back to school’: How to freelance (and travel) smarter, get productive and organise your business and the recording is now available.

You can also buy the inaugural September 2023 webinar The fine art of pitching (and following up), November’s How to write travel features to wow your editor, February’s FREE webinar How can we protect our mental health and wellbeing?, April’s Working smarter with travel PRs, and June’s Modernise, revitalise, decolonise: Pitch and write sparkier travel features that excite and inform. All webinars are available here and all include a link to the recording and useful resources.
