WRITE TRAVEL FROM HOME

Many people don’t attempt to write travel because they can’t afford to travel. Or, their family needs them at home.

Sorry, those excuses are not acceptable. You can write and sell articles where you are—Southeast Texas.

You don’t think there is anything here to excite an editor.

Well, go to the new Ben J. Rogers Regional Visitors Center and discover the hundreds of things you don’t know about Southeast Texas.

You went and found a lot you didn’t know. But how do you decide what to try to write?

What made you think, Wow! What would you like to know more about-- the Steamboat Museum in Beaumont honoring Texas Heroes; the Buddhist Lotus Blossom Garden in Port Arthur or the renovated Shangri La Park to open in 2008 in Orange? If you are impressed and curious, chances are an editor would be—provided you choose the right magazine.

“Writing Travel for Fun and Profit” will teach you how to find the magazine and write the article.

See you in class.

Well, that sounds fine if you live in Southern Texas but what about me in San Diego, California? Who would want to come here? LOL. Your post made me want to sit down and write! Thanks for the encouragement!!
