About this event
If you want to break into travel journalism, this is a must for you...
A taster of some of the things you'll learn during the masterclass:
- Craft your first-person ideas into brilliant, meaty travel features that travel editors love
- Get invited to press trips from travel PRs and say YES to the trip with the perfect publication commissioning you to go
- Get three stories out of one press trip = more coverage for the PR (keeping them super happy, meaning you'll get invited on more press trips) and more money and bylines in publications for you
- Learn how to 'thief proof' your travel ideas - meaning you can write far and wide for many different publications with your ideas
- Master how to structure and write features, opinion pieces, first-person stories and investigative pieces under the umbrella of your travel ideas
- You will also receive a fantastic takeaway of relevant travel PR contacts after the masterclass for press trips, as well as some of our favourite travel commissioning editors, and a pitching template of how to best pitch your travel article idea
AND MORE!

A testimonial from our last travel masterclass:
From @nicole_music: "After never being published in any national papers or magazines before, after doing this masterclass, I got to fulfil my travel writing dreams and just a month later, landed my first ever paid travel commission and went on the most amazing press trip on a luxury cruise.
"This course legitimately makes dreams come true. I never thought I'd be able to break into travel journalism. I literally went from zero travel writing experience to writing about a press trip for a global publication after I pitched my travel idea to them - and I was paid £250 to do it."
If you have any questions at all, please do email on freelance.masterclass@gmail.com or head to our Instagram: @thefreelancesessions
