For Writers

”I believe anyone with a love of travel and storytelling can build a thriving career as a writer.” – Laura McVeigh

How I can help you become a travel writer:

  • Craft compelling travel stories
  • Pitch editors & get published
  • Monetise your writing
  • Build a lasting career in travel media

I help aspiring travel writers build real, sustainable careers, drawing on my experience as a successful travel writer and internationally bestselling author. I’ve been published worldwide, written travel books for Lonely Planet and DK Eyewitness, have travel bylines with national newspapers, and my writing has featured in leading publications and media including Newsweek, BBC, Traveller Magazine, New Internationalist and many others. I’ve travelled to over 70 countries, am a polyglot, currently living in the Balearics, and I am passionate about writing, in particular immersive culturally-rich writing where place is the protagonist.

While my particular interests lean towards green and slow travel, literary journeys and cultural connection, I am also the founder of travel-writing.com – a welcoming home for all aspiring travel writers, full of travel writing tips, advice and providing a roadmap to help you build a sustainable travel writing career.
