Is the Writers Market Book Good for Travel Writing?

[H_Atwell]

I've been freelancing full-time for about six years now, mainly working with repeat clients earned on Elance (now Upwork) nearly a decade ago. This year, I really want to focus on my travel writing, and in that sense I'm pretty much a newbie.

Will the current edition of the Writers' Market have ample listings for publications and websites buying travel articles? Are there better resources specifically for travel writers looking for listings of buyers?

Writer's Market is essential. There's also Roy Stevenson's page "Pitch Travel Write" that sells specific lists of travel writing clients. https://www.pitchtravelwrite.com

I bought one of the lists and was pleased by how good it was.

I haven't looked at The Writer's Market for years and didn't back when I was writing feature articles, so I can't advise about that. (Seems too static.)

Duotrope lists 46 travel writing markets, and that's just searching under "article." It's probably bigger if you add CNF and essays.

Good luck.
