Format:Paperback
Break Into Travel Writing contains loads of excellent tips and advice, from getting started to writing tips, as well as the importance of branding, marketing, social media and networking. It's a comprehensive book I would recommend to anyone interested in travel writing and/or travel blogging. I especially love the case studies scattered throughout the book - these were contributed by experts in their fields and contain sound, practical advice. The book takes its reader by the hand and guides them through the various sections, taking the time to explain the jargon, and also includes little breaks for an exercise or two. Above all, it's a fun read.
Format:Paperback
This helpful book is packed with information and interesting tips on everything from social media and blogging to pitching ideas. I'd recommend it to all budding travel writers, as well as the more experienced writer looking for further tips and advice to enhance their travel writing career.
