Hands down the coolest travel community on earth, Matador Network recently launched its MatadorU, a twelve-week program guaranteed to help you launch your travel writing career, but more importantly, help you find and hone your true voice. The program was put together by most of the Matador founders and editorial team (myself included).
Like Senior Editor David Miller always says, “Come correct!”. Write about what you know. Try not to be who you’re not. While mimicking your favorite writers is a form of flattery, it really doesn’t get you far.
You need to be you.
MatadorU’s rock solid curriculum has no fluffy information built in. It gets to the point succinctly.
If you’re looking to take the next step, I highly recommend the course. If you’re unsure, listen to David Miller break down the program over at Travel Writers Exchange.
