What is the TTW Retreat?
This retreat is designed for new, aspiring or early-career travel writers who want to better understand how this industry works, how to make a reasonable living in it, and how to pitch and write great stories. The retreat will cover everything from the PR-journalist relationship and how that works, to writing pitches that get commissioned, finding editor contacts, networking and matching your ideas to the right publications.
There will also be press trip-style activities so you can put into practice what you’ve learned, plus a Pitching Clinic where we’ll give you personalised feedback on how to strengthen your story angles.
The retreat will also be a great opportunity to meet other travel writers at a similar stage in their careers in person; establishing networks within the industry is a huge part of making this job a success.
The ultimate goal of the retreat is to come away with solid pitches ready to be sent out to editors and a clear idea of how you can land commissions within the travel media.
