EP 22: Should I Pitch Before a Trip or After I've Returned?

<p>Should you pitch a travel story before you go on a trip, or wait until you're back? </p><p><br></p><p>It sounds like a simple question, but the truthful answer is - it really depends.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of Inside Travel Writing, I explore why pitching a feature story before a trip is a bit like trying to write a blurb for a book you haven't read yet. I also walk through what stories I actually pitch when I need commissions before I leave (and the specific types of stories that make this possible). </p><p><br></p><p>And underneath it all is a bigger question beyond 'should I pitch before or after travel' and I can't wait to share that with you. </p><p><br></p><p></p><p>Love the show?
