Description
The Travel Magazine Database, a subscription web platform from Dream of Travel Writing, a New York-based company that provides products and services to help travel writers grow their income and create more successful relationships between editors, PR professionals and freelance travel journalists, offers detailed information on exactly which slots magazine editors are looking to fill each month to remove that uncertainty.
The hundreds of full magazine breakdowns in Dream of Travel Writing’s Travel Magazine Database feature in-depth analysis of each publication’s content and needs, including:
- which sections are open to freelancers
- the length of each section
- examples of what has been covered previously in each section
- which regular contributors pen recurring columns
- the magazine’s target readership traits
- the percentage of travel-related content in each issue
- where to read full issues online
- editors’ email addresses
We are currently bringing on additional writers to help us expand the database, which currently features a new entry every day. You can see the type of writing we are looking for in this sample entry (https://travelmagazinedatabase.com/full-access-preview/) and a full tour of the database here (https://travelmagazinedatabase.com/tour/). The length of each post varies, as each magazine has a different amount of freelance content to breakdown.
We are looking for writers who can commit to contributing between five and 10 entries per month. Please do not apply if your capacity is lower than this.
Desired background:
- degree in journalism or other demonstrated familiarity with magazines
- experience with AP style (a must)
- previous copywriting experience
- WordPress proficiency
