Pitch Travel Write

Pitch Travel Write

Pitch Travel Write is a comprehensive educational resource and mentorship platform founded by Roy Stevenson, one of the most prolific travel writers in North America. The site is designed to demystify the professional travel writing industry by focusing on Stevenson’s signature “Pitch-Travel-Write” sequence—a strategic approach that emphasizes selling a story to an editor before ever leaving for the destination. By prioritizing the “business” of travel writing, the platform provides thousands of writers with actionable advice on crafting query letters, landing high-value press trips, and reselling articles to multiple markets.

The website serves as a massive repository of free articles, digital guides, and specialized workshops that cover everything from beginner “clips” to advanced marketing techniques. Stevenson’s philosophy centers on professional transparency, teaching writers how to navigate the technicalities of the field—such as “FAM tours” (familiarization trips) and editor relationships—while maintaining a high volume of published work. Through its popular weekly e-zine and detailed “manuals for success,” Pitch Travel Write has become an essential hub for freelance writers who want to turn their wanderlust into a sustainable, profitable career.
