But how do you know if this course is for you?
This course is aimed at new and aspiring travel writers who want to write for the British press. You might be completely new to the game, have sent a couple of pitches, or have been commissioned for one or two articles but are struggling to land commissions on a regular basis. If any of these sound like you, then you'll take away plenty from this course.
Over eight video modules that you can watch at your own pace, you'll learn all the tools you need to build a successful travel writing career.
