Challenge yourself to send 30 queries during National Travel Writing Month
In a similar vein to National Novel Writing Month, in which participants try to write a novel during November, April has been declared National Travel Writing Month. The goal of NaTraWriMo (I can’t believe I just used such a horrible abbreviation) is to encourage travel writers—published and those just starting out—to submit a query letter a day for the month.
Christine Gilbert, the writer of the excellent travel blog Almost Fearless, created the National Travel Writing Month social network. While surely you can write a query a day without joining the group, it offers support and helpful resources.
