How to Become a Travel Writer and Get Paid to Travel
Learn all about travel writing in our Professional Freelance Journalism Course.
Travel writers allow their readers to share in their experiences, both locally and abroad.
Travel writing is a unique arm of journalism; it’s where hard facts meet story-telling and creative writing. Great travel writers take their readers on a journey, intimately weaving truth, entertainment and to certain degree, judgment on their travel experiences.
These travel experiences aren’t always exclusive to exotic international destinations, editors are always keen to publish information more close to your home base. We can show you how to share and sell your experiences of people and places around the world, or, even your own doorstep.
The British College of Journalism’s Professional Freelance Journalism Course is designed to explore travel journalism, along with the many other writing opportunities available to competent freelance journalists.
This course is conducted by distance learning via email, over your choice of 12 or 24 weeks. We offer full flexibility with deadlines, and you may take as long as a year to complete your course work. You will work alongside a working journalist, benefiting from their years of industry experience and know-how.
If travelling the world and earning money from the comfort of your own home sounds like your dream job, enter your details into the form above and let us show you how to make your dream into a reality.
