Welcome to

TRAVEL WRITE EARN

I’m James Durston (say hello over in the video) and I’m here to help you become a successful travel writer.

I’ve sold hundreds of articles myself as a freelance writer for many high profile publications including CNN, Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast, Discovery, VICE, SCMP, The Independent and The Daily Mail. More importantly I’ve spent nearly US$750,000 buying thousands of articles as a commissioning editor.

Travel Write Earn is designed to show you exactly what I’m thinking and how I work when I sell and buy travel articles, so you can maximise your own chances of similar success.
