Advice on travel writing can cover two main areas: how to write a good travel piece, or how to get published (or both). These tips are a mixture of the two, based on my experiences as an editor who’s an occasional writer. I’ve tried not to make them too orientated towards Adventure Travel, but different editors/writers will still have different experiences.
