Dilvin Yasa on working as a freelance travel writer and author


Listen Later

The life of a freelance travel writer sounds like a dream gig (and one we have always wondered about) - so this week Rachel and Lynne are chatting with freelancer and columnist Dilvin Yasa. Dilvin talks about the reality of working as a travel writer. In our chat, Dilvin talks about:

  • The challenge of getting your foot in the door if you live in the 'wrong postcode'
  • How men's magazines taught her how to write well
  • The reality of spending weeks on the road
  • How she juggles the demands of a weekly column with family life 
  • How and why she published her books
  • The secret to getting a pitch across the line with editors
  • Her tips for aspiring feature writers
