Someone turned me on to a new website for travel writers yesterday. It’s called www.TravMedia.com. I signed up and found out they actually vet you. They want you to prove you’re a travel writer.
They sent me an email and asked me to send them links to my published travel writing. I was a little worried since I haven’t actually had any articles published (yet) that I would really consider ‘travel’ articles.
I’ve been trying to get started writing, and would LOVE to get into travel writing, but between working my regular job offshore (with pretty limited internet access) and all the things I need to catch up on when I finally get home, I never seem to find the time to write. Even when I do manage to write something, then I have a really hard time writing off to editors to see if they might be interested in what I’ve written.
I have had a couple of things published that I’ve written (and they’ve used my photos too). Things more to do with a maritime theme. Some of them came about because of this blog!
I had an article published in “Incomes Abroad” which is an online (paid) publication about traveling the world and getting paid for it onboard ships. I can’t give a link to the actual article, but here’s what they said about my article…
“And just wait until you discover how Jill Friedman funds her global trips—she gets paid to sail around the world.
