This week I am talking with Christine Chitnis, bestselling author of “East Coasting,” “Patterns of Portugal,” and “Patterns of India.” Her travel writing has appeared in publications including “The New York Times,” “Vogue,” and “Travel and Leisure.” Christine also helps other writers create winning book proposals and book marketing strategies. And she's a great follow on Instagram where her photos of gorgeous places and nature provide a welcome break in your scrolling.
We covered:
- The path from grant writing, to writing for small local publications, to writing for “The New York Times” and “Vogue”
- The power of having different kinds of projects going simultaneously
- Her biggest limiting factor: childcare
- Transitioning from writing about lifestyle to writing about travel
- Why it’s crucial to think of writing as a business, and not just a creative endeavor
- The kinds of things she does to “restore my creativity”
- How her morning routine is actually chaos
- How she blocks off time for writing, and where it happens
