Allen Cox, a professional freelance writer, provides a free series of articles for new travel writers geared to help them market their work and their brand.
Allen Cox dedicates much of his time and energy to helping emerging travel writers learn to navigate the writing and publishing business.
"The protocols and etiquette of the publishing industry are particularly daunting to new freelance writers" says Cox. "Learning to navigate this maze can speed the process from idea to publication, but it takes research and, with any luck, a good mentor."
Cox's series of articles, "Nuggets for New Travel Writers," is available on his blog:

"Feedback about the series from other writers has been tremendous," Cox says.
He plans to post a new installment in the series approximately every week. Articles so far help writers understand the advantages of forming relationships with destination marketing professionals, how to prepare fully before sending an editorial pitch, how to build a portfolio utilizing local topics and more.
