The Complete Guide to Query Letters
for Travel Writers eBook
By Roy Stevenson
The Complete Guide to Query Letters for Travel Writers eBook shows you everything you need to know to craft compelling query letters.
Well-written query letters convince magazine editors that you have an exciting travel story their readers will absolutely love.
And knowing how to sell your story ideas opens the door for press trips to almost any destination in the world.
In just seven years of travel writing I’ve had more than 800 stories published – and they all started with a query letter. I know how to write killer query letters that work, and I wrote this eBook to show you how to do it.
Here’s what makes this book different than others: you’ll get 20 sample query letters that work.
These 20 samples are actual query letters that I’ve used successfully to get assignments in print magazines.
Each
sample query letter comes with a clear explanation of the key things
that sold the idea successfully. And you can use the samples to create
your own successful query letters, using the same kinds of words, ideas
and techniques.
The query letter samples in this book show a
wide variety of respected and top-shelf magazines that publish travel
articles: in-flight magazines, travel magazines (from regional to
international), and many specialty magazines in a variety of genres like
art, yachting, adventure, beer, military magazines, and others.
You’ll see the exact query letter that worked for each magazine, and you'll understand the key elements that made it work.
