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 and press trips? 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 is/wil be covered in these professional development sessions aimed at travel journalists and writers, with panels featuring some of the best in the business. The last webinar took place on Thursday 30th October 2025: What makes a good ‘sustainable travel journalist’? Here’s what any ‘sustainable travel writer’ needs to ask – recording and resources now available.
