A complete digital toolkit from award-winning travel writer Lindy Alexander — featuring six successful pitches to editors and PRs, a full breakdown of why they worked, and a plug-and-play template to craft your own winning emails.
Created for travel writers who are ready to stop guessing — and start landing assignments.
Maybe it’s a secluded beach town, a family hike through ancient forests or the surreal, joyful chaos of a city festival.
You know there’s something there.
But then… you sit down to pitch it. And suddenly, your brain gets loud.
Is this even a story editors want?
Is the hook strong enough?
What section would this even fit in?
You write a draft. Then rewrite it. Then second-guess everything.
Do you offer a story?
Promise coverage?
Say who you write for?
You stare at the screen. You tell yourself you’ll come back to it.
And sometimes, the story never gets pitched at all.
It’s not that you don’t have great ideas.
It’s just that you don’t actually know what to say — and how to say it in a way that gets a yes.
“What would be most helpful to you right now in your travel writing?”
The top answer?
“I want to see real pitches that actually worked —what to say, how to say it and what gets a yes.”
Even after years of pitching, I still catch myself wondering: Is this enough? Should I say more? Should I say less?
So many writers tell me they’re not sure what a good pitch actually looks like.
They want examples, not theory.
They want to know why something worked — so they can do it too.
What if you could get a behind-the-scenes look at the exact travel pitches I’ve sent to editors and PRs (public relations professionals) that got a yes.
And a clear breakdown of why they worked…so you’re not just inspired, you’re equipped.
Introducing...
Most aspiring travel writers aren’t struggling with ideas — they’re struggling to land the assignment or get hosted.
And usually, the gap isn’t the writing. It’s the pitch.
But apart from saying you need a ‘clear angle’ and a ‘timely hook’, it’s hard to know what makes a really good pitch.
This isn’t a blog post with a few vague tips.
This is the exact wording I’ve used to land commissions from top-tier publications — and the emails I’ve sent to PRs that resulted in high-end hosted stays, business class upgrades, and more.
You’ll see:
How I structure my emails
What I say (and what I leave out)
How I position value — for the editor, the reader, or the PR
And how I follow up and build real relationships
For $27, you’ll get access to 6 real travel pitches that worked, a practical video walkthrough, and a fill-in-the-blanks pitch template.
This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about knowing what works in travel pitches to editors and PRs —so you can start landing assignments and finally get clear on how to pitch without second-guessing every sentence.
