I'm an award-winning writer...

...but I also like to talk in classrooms, on the radio, on podcasts, or on panels.

Let's chat about how my words (written or spoken) can benefit you and your business.

EP 9: Press Trips and Pitching: Australia vs North America

This week I'm joined by Fiona Tapp, award-winning travel writer, editor, and my co-coach inside The Travel Writer Accelerator. Fiona is a Londoner who's been based in Ottawa, Canada for 20 years, which makes her the perfect person to unpack exactly how press trips and pitching work differently on each side of the world.

Author

I wrote two chapters of the Lonely Planet book "Wellness Escapes" (Nov 2018), I wrote the Ottawa chapter of the DK Eyewitness book "Run" (April 2023), and I wrote the Tonquin Trail Tofino, BC chapter of the Lonely Planet book "Epic Runs of North America" (September 2024).

Writing Coach

I am a writing coach at The Travel Writer Accelerator, run by award-winning writer Lindy Alexander.

Judge

I was invited to be a 2024 judge for The Tourism Press Award. This unique award celebrates the symbiosis between the media and tourism industries, recognizing a video that resonates not only with travelers but also with the journalistic community.

I was chosen among 80 travel journalists from more than 30 countries, to select the winner who was announced at the World Tourism Film Awards ceremony in Valencia, Spain.
