Travel Writing Competition
July 20th 2010 21:16
Travel writing is an ideal genre for fiction writers who want to branch out (I should know, I am a travel writer by day). Even though you have to base your writing on facts, it's important to bring the place you write about to life. You have to make your readers smell the sea air, feel the sand beneath their feet and wish they were there. Travel writing is all about show, don't tell.
If you want to try your hand at travel writing, why not give the Leaf Books Postcard and Short Travel Writing Competition a go? You could win the £150 prize. The competition is fairly open as long as you evoke "a clear sense of place" and don't write more than 300 words. You can send it your submission on a postcard, too. The deadline is the 31st of August and the entry fee is £3 per submission or £10 for four postcards.
