Monday Market: Traveler's Tales

The Algarve
Since this blog covers all types of reading and writing, I thought it might be good to profile a different type of market today - and it's probably one that most of us could try.

Traveler's Tales accepts non-fiction travel essays for their numerous anthologies and they seem to like humour! Two of the open submissions at the moment are for Women's Travel Humor and More Travel Humor. They do, however, accept all kinds of travel-related pieces, including the frightening, adventurous and grim. They also seem to be running a '30 Days in...' variety of destinations.

Something to note: I read under their 'submissions' that they might use a submitted piece for their online Editor's Choice section - at no payment, although they would offer 50% off their travel books. Stories published in any of their print books earn $100. Submissions are only through the online intake site which is given on the Traveler's Tales website, along with all other details. Might be worth a closer look for anyone who likes to write about their travels!

I love travel writing. If I had a bit more time, I'd love to submit something!

Rosemary Gemmell said...

Hi Talli, thanks for commenting. I know what you mean - you should see how much I have here!

I've never tried any travel writing, even though I've travelled a lot and have had plenty of humourous experiences. Well, at least they were funny at the time! Will take a look at the website.

Hi Paula - I guessed a lot of writers have travelled but maybe haven't written about it!

Thanks for sharing! I love to travel and have kept journals of my adventures. Maybe I could glean something from one of them and create an interesting article.

Rosemary Gemmell said...

Hi Melanie - you should try writing some articles about your trips!

And what a great excuse for travelling more! :-)

Looks an interesting site to explore, Rosemary.

Rosemary Gemmell said...

Hi K.C - you're absolutely right!

Hello Joan - at least it's another possible home for our work!
