I think I’m going to have think about this idea seriously. I shall finish the holiday write up first!

And I agree about the travelogue idea – expanding and polishing would be needed, of course, but the the way you write about the things you write about could appeal to all kinds of magazines.

Re: You really thing it’s good enough…?

Yes, I do think you could work your travelogues into essays. A lot of litmags like what is fashionably termed ‘creative non-fiction’, and with the little story-like elements I think you could turn your travel experiences into really great essays. I’m thinking of magazines like the London Magazine and Stand, just off the top of my head; also you might even consider writing for some of the ‘popular’ magazines – magazines like (don’t laugh!) The Lady and People’s Friend regularly publish travel articles. Definitely something to think about!

You really thing it’s good enough…?

Travel writing? Do you think my kind of “travelogue” would be that interesting for other people to read? They don’t say so much about the country and the people do they… then again, I guess Bill Bryson doesn’t say that – just tells little stories… Maybe it’s something I need to think about? Do you know of any magazines that publish that kind of thing?
