Another way to get your travel writings published is via a press release. If you visit Travelwriters.com, they have a section dedicated to press releases. This is a great way to view other travel writers press releases, have examples of headlines, and upload your own press release. Hold it! In order to view or upload “press releases,” you must create an account with Travelwriters.com. The good news is you can create a FREE account (I did) or pay $59 which will get you more features. The choice is yours!

Here is an article that I found at articlebase.com. It has some good information on “how to use a press release.” If you have a travel website, a press release would be a good way to get an editor’s attention!

Stop the presses!: I had to include this “tidbit” about Lonely Planet. Check out this article at stuff.co.nz. Don’t let this be you! When you write your press release, make sure it is “legit!”

I found this article called “how to write a great press release.” It gives an example of how to promote a “travel website.” Excellent! It’s always nice to have examples that relate to your topic. In our case this would be TRAVEL!

Hey, here’s an “out-of-the-box” idea regarding a press release. I found the following on writing-world.com. Let’s say you would like to explore San Francisco, which is in “your backyard.” You can request your local “tourism authorities” (check out tourism offices worldwide) to include you on their circulation of media releases and newsletters. Nice! You can do the same with other travel destinations that you frequent or that you know you would like to visit. Not only will you receive an example of a press release, you will have valuable “details” such as events, museums, restaurants, new hotels and resorts, nightlife, etc…You will have many ideas for your next travel writing!

Go Travel News.com offers great information on “how to prepare a news release package that gets published.” You can also submit a press release to go travel news.com. Sweet!

I think this is a good basis for press releases. If I come across any other useful information, I will pass it along to you. In the meantime…

Press on and release it,
