After three years of running Dream of Travel Writing—helping writers find the right mix of writing to meet their financial goals—and our Travel Magazine Database, which breaks down exactly how to pitch each section of more than 500 magazines, we’re always shocked when writers still tell us they’re only trying to pitch major newsstand magazines like Travel & Leisure or big airline magazines like Hemispheres. Rather than pitch the same places that everyone else is pitching, your best chance of success, much like applying to universities, is to find the outlets that are a more specific fit to you overall in many different dimensions.

In this webinar, we’ll walk through how to begin to source them, cut down your list, and make sure you’re on track to also meet your assignment and income goals through the magazines you’ve chosen.

We will cover:
– Why pitch idea-first rather than magazine-first?
– The first step to building out your magazine list
– Think like the parent of a college student when refining your list
– What does a balanced magazine portfolio look like?
