I am so glad I found this site that documents opportunities for travel writers and gives the lowdown on how te field really is. As you can see from my blog I write about Hawaii, but being a travel writer is one of my dreams.
Hello,
Hope this finds you well.
I’d like to forward an article I wrote, with photo. And have your professional critique.
(It has not yet been published)
Thank you for your time.
Looking forward,

Yes, but do read the fine print about your entry:
“And once you send it in to us, it becomes our property–intellectual and otherwise.”
I decided that no, thanks, that was a bit too grasping for me.
