Completely revised edition of the ground-breaking travel writing book that provides a road map to success in the digital age. It dives headlong into the entrepreneurial world of blogging and digital products, while still acknowledging the real money to be made in freelance writing for others. Drawing on interviews and survey responses from more than 100 successful travel writers and bloggers, this is the definitive guide to creating success instead of waiting for permission.
Blogger, editor, and award-winning freelance writer Tim Leffel shares advice from his decades of hard-won experience. He provides practical lessons from running six websites (and selling one), publishing five books through multiple editions, and writing for outlets like CNN, Lonely Planet, and Outside. If you'd like to earn an income from covering your travels and have a clear plan for sustainable profits, this book will open up all the possibilities and show you the best ways to stand out from the crowd.
This is not a rosy, "see the world for free" come-on book that dodges the real challenges in building a career in this competitive field. It lays out the real landscape for bloggers and freelancers and shows the obstacles to overcome, but provides clear lessons on how to leap over them and get ahead, while avoiding most of the common mistakes.

Travel Writing 2.0 is an essential resource for anyone trying to make real money from their writing.
- Chuck Thompson, author of Smile When You're Lying and To Hellholes and Back
I learned a lot from this book, and as I've been a full-time travel writer for about 20 years, that says something. I've profited (financially and personally) from Tim's advice.
- Mike Gerrard, freelance writer, author, and web publisher
This book was just the kick-in-the-a#% I needed.
- Matt Karsten of ExpertVagabond.com
There's a lot of great advice in Leffel's latest book, both from him and the seasoned travel writers he interviewed.
- Erin Dalpani in Freelance-Zone.com
I really enjoyed Leffel's "no holds barred" approach to travel writing. He minces no words, makes no promises, and in turn, delivers some solid advice.
- Nora Dunn, freelance writer and blogger at The Professional Hobo
An excellent read full of actionable advice, I cannot recommend it enough!
- David Nikel, guidebook author and editor of Life in Norway
Tim obviously put a lot of research into this book, he covers every angle exhaustively, which is much appreciated. Great resource, definitely recommended.
- Jackie Nourse, blogger, podcaster, and adventure tour leader
Tim's advice is real and grounded based on his own success in making a business out of the many travel writing possibilities that exist today. The book is packed with great tips as well as insights from successful travel writers and should definitely on the reading list for anyone who aspires to make a career out of writing.
- Heather Cowper, blogger at Heather on Her Travels
Whether you're a newbie, who's trying to figure out how to get started in this business, or someone who's been writing and traveling for decades, as have I, you should have this in your digital bookcase.
