Women's website seeks travel writers and bloggers for destination pieces

Posted by Leyla Giray Alyanak on January 6, 2012 at 10:30pm

Hi Everyone,

Women on the Road is starting a new destinations section and while we can't pay much for now ($10-$15 per piece) the terms are good - writers can resell their post to print publications after just one month, and the site gets good traffic. It's also a great place to break in if writers need to gain a bit of experience and exposure.

 

Find the writers' guidelines here and please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any information!

 

All stories must look at destinations from a woman's point of view - especially on issues of safety, culture, mores... 

 

Thanks for passing this on! Cheers, Leyla

    Hi Leyla,

    This sounds like a terrific opportunity. I’ve been traveling solo since I was twelve when my parents sent me on a three day train ride to Arizona aboard the old Santa Fe Super Chief. 

    I still travel the world solo and without flying; only ships, trains and an occasional bus or taxi. Certainly makes for interesting experiences and carefully planned itineraries. 

    Thank you very much - I look forward to hearing from you.

    Best regards,

      Dear Katie,

      Please get in touch via email through this page. I'd love to have a piece on India generally and perhaps another on Chennai. Please read the guidelines on that page and then query with some story ideas - I'm really looking forward to hearing from you!

    Hi Leyla:

    Sounds good. I would love to participate as this has always been my area of expertise. Even wrote a book called The Women's Travel Guide to 25 American Cities back in the 80s. Would love the opportunity. Please advise and thanks so much. 

    All the best,

    Jane
