Want to write pitches that make a travel ed pounce? How do you write features that make an editor go “wow”? What are the ethics and issues within travel writing today? 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 good relationships with editors?
All this and more is covered in these informal sessions aimed at travel journalists and writers, with panels of experienced travel media and industry experts. The next webinar is on Thursday 27th August 2026: Ethics and dilemmas in travel writing today: No-pay/low-pay, AI, editorial integrity, conflict of interest and more – and it’s a free one.
Previous webinars are all available here. From the first webinar in September 2023 – ‘The fine art of pitching (and following up)’ – there are now 13 webinars, with more to come. Panellists include travel editors from BBC Travel, The Independent and Wanderlust, award-winning travel journalists based around the world, experienced travel PRs, and leading industry experts. Topics have ranged from pitching more effectively, improving your writing. and working smarter with PRs, to using data and trends in travel writing, decolonising travel, and greenwashing. There’s also a selection of free webinars on mental health and well-being, an end-of-year check-in, and travel writing ethics. Webinars are £6 (unless free) and include the recording and resources.
NOTE: If you register before a live webinar, you will receive the recording and resources within ONE WEEK of the live session. If you’re purchasing it post-live event, you’ll receive links immediately.
