Thanks, Trisha.
I think this is a great idea for travel writers (even if I say so myself).
Somebody with a real interest in travel and good writing skills would certainly add to the quality of our international travel directory.
And since we provide everything, you can log in from anywhere in the world, review any submissions made, add a bit of advertising or Google Ads etc.
But then like I said, I am biased

Hi John - thank you for posting this! I have heard from a few writers for whom english is not their primary language, so hopefully you will get some takers! Good luck!

This is a great opportunity for travel writers whose first language is not English.
We are looking for people who take their travel and their travel writing serious.

You can now operate your own non-English copy of a WiZZ.travel directory and instantly be part of a trusted, well-recognised and established travel directory.
WiZZ.travel is looking for editors who are interested in running a quality tourism and travel directory in their language.

Who are we looking for?

People whose first language is not English, but who have a good understanding of English.
People who take their travel and their travel writing serious
You'll need to translate a template of the WiZZ.travel directory.
For an example, visit the Dutch WiZZ.travel directory.
You will operate and maintain your own WiZZ.travel directory, add categories as required, review submissions made to your directory etc.
Work together with other WiZZ.travel editors using a common set of rules and guidelines to create the best travel directory in as many languages as possible.
WiZZ.travel editors will be required to check and amend some submissions. Being a WiZZ.travel editor is more than clicking to approve or reject submissions. We are a quality directory and work to a set of standards.

If this sounds like you, you might wonder what the benefits are for you:

WiZZ.travel editors can request fees for some reviews; paid reviews are charged at the same price by all different language editors. Currently the price is US$ 9.95.
WiZZ.travel editors can place and sell relevant advertising including Google Ads on their directory.
WiZZ provides all the hosting and the software and the domain, you provide the initial translation and maintain your directory.
Your WiZZ.travel directory will be at the relevant subdomain: for example the Dutch WiZZ.travel is at nl.wizz.travel etc.

If you're interested:

Contact us to make sure that we are not already busy creating a directory in your language.
A once only fee of US$ 20 is applicable before we set up your directory.
