How to Pitch Five Magazines Looking for Business Owner Profiles
Welcome to the Friday Freebie Five, a new weekly feature on Dream of Travel Writing’s Six Figure Travel Writer blog.
Each week, we comb our Travel Magazine Database to bring you five magazine sections open to freelancers around a theme–front-of-book trend pieces, long-form first-person features, short narrative postcards–to inspire your pitches.
United Rhapsody
“Designer Profile” is an up to 1,000-word section that looks into the life and work of a fashion designer such as Tommy Hilfiger or Edgardo Osorio. Written in the third person, the section combines quotes from an interview with the designer and provides readers with a more personal insight into their lives.
“I want to tell an editor I have more than one idea for their travel magazine in my pitch, how should I do that?”
We’ve got a new book out, 101 Things You Need to Know to Make it as a Travel Writer, that answers 101 questions that we hear from travel writers all the time that are holding them back from achieving their Dream of Travel Writing. To celebrate the new book, we’ll be tackling a new sticky travel-writing situation each Monday here on The Six-Figure Travel Writer blog.
“I want to tell an editor I have more than one idea for their travel magazine in my pitch, how should I do that?”
Usually I advise to send one fully fleshed-out pitch and save your other ideas for when you get a response from an editor or when you’re following up after no response.

What Are the Next Big Steps for Your Travel Writing?
There is a reason we primarily offer in-person retreat events rather than online programs.
The results are simply so, so different.
Think about learning a language–you can go to Spanish classes for an hour one night a week for years. Or you can go to Spain and be surrounded by signs in Spanish, people speaking Spanish, and constant opportunities to put your skills to use.

You can often find one thing on your trip which in itself is interesting but would be hard to pitch because it has been around for a while.

Which Retreats Should We Schedule This Fall and Winter? (Win a Delightful Chocolate Gift Box!)
It was very much a coincidence that we came to own our retreat house in the Catskills right when Dream of Travel Writing and the Travel Magazine Database were getting off the ground.
Now, of course, I couldn’t imagine it any other way.
Having the opportunity to work intensively, in-person with writers on the issues that they are struggling with has completely transformed my ideas for how we can help writers.
