Pitch Pack

Struggling to secure commissions from your pitches? The Pitch Pack is a PDF with 18 commissioned travel pitches from seven award-winning writers across the travel industry, plus links to the resulting pieces, which were published by The Guardian, The Telegraph, BBC Travel, Travel and Leisure, National Geographic Traveller, among others.

These pitches are exclusive to the Pitch Pack and a great addition to those included in the How to Become a Travel Writer course. 


You'll learn:

  • how to structure a successful pitch
  • the types of juicy details that editors want to know before they commission a story
  • whether there's a limit to how long a pitch should be
