How to Get Published and Make Money

Within three months of starting freelance writing, my stories began appearing on the national magazine racks without interruption. Since then I’ve had well over 1000 articles published in 200+ different magazines, newspapers, in-flights, on-boards, trade journals and websites. I have a stack of magazines and newspapers eight feet high to prove these claims.

I have a system that works. With my system there are six things that must be done well. If you do these things each time you have a story idea, your success rate will improve. 

Follow these steps and you’ll get published more frequently and make money with your writing:

1. Dream up a marketable story idea
2. Research your topic thoroughly
3. Create a query letter that resonates with editors
4. Find publications where you can pitch your idea
5. Deliver a quality article on time
6. Get repeat business with the editor

In this post I elaborate on each of these crucial steps . . .

You need to have a lot of skills to be successful in the freelance travel writing game. In the past fifteen years I’ve been bombarded with hundreds of email questions about many aspects of travel writing. The blogs you’re about to read are my succinct answers to these urgent questions.
