Will Write For Travel

The goal: to arrive back in the United States, after a year spent in in Japan, and immediately get an amazing job that pays a huge salary and includes a loyal, but hunchback, butler and an office refrigerator that's always stocked with exotic cheese. In order to reach this goal, I figured I'd put in a little leg work. Or finger work as the case may be. I'm doing a little freelance travel writing for Peter Greenberg, host of a syndicated travel radio program and Travel Editor for CBS News, and my first article has just come out. Yippee!

    Hi, Rachel! I think your blog is hilarious! And you're a very talented writer. I'm interested in travel writing too. How did you get published on that site? Did you send a query letter first? Do they pay you?

    Thanks! Keep up the posts! Yokohama was one of my faves! Beauty pageant contestant?! Brilliant.

    Thanks!

    I got hooked up with Peter Greenberg through a friend of a friend. I applied to work for him a bunch of times, and when they actually had a position I was already shipping off for Japan. We had a meeting and he suggested I do some writing. Hopefully this will lead to more writing jobs when I return from Japan!
