While the chapter focuses more on writing, Rose Walker offers this advice in Do Your Research to Become a Travel Writer to researching the destination:
“your next step as a travel writer is photography. Most travel writers take photos to go with their articles and most editors want photos. I am sure you have taken pictures while on vacation, but now you want to take professional pictures to sell. Do your research on what editors want in a photo, but most importantly do research on how to photograph pictures to sell.”
Using Walkers advice in addition to Chapter 4 the travel writer should have a complete set of tools to get their writing published along with some stunning visuals.
