Travel Writer:

Travel Writer By the latter part of the 19th century, the role of science and technology had made so profound an impression on men of European culture that a writer of science fiction could be commercially successful. One such writer was the Frenchman Jules Verne, who can be considered the first professional science fiction writer. An admirer of Poe, Verne published in 1863 his first imaginative piece—a sensational and popular novelette aptly called Five Weeks in a Balloon.

The Camera definitely has taken its place in the past few years as the most important tool in publicity and public relations. The publicity photographer nowadays enjoys stature equal to that of the publicity writer and his income can be even greater than the writer's.


The National Geographic is the prototype of the travel writer magazines which supply a good market for the roving cameraman. It is a good text for study before you go on a picture-shooting trip. If you can understand and can supply what they want at National Geographic, you should be able to sell to the other travel writer magazines, too. The purely travel writer magazines represent only a narrow slice of the market for travel writer pictures, however. All the general magazines use travel writer material, too, in one form or another. A popular form is the picture story which deals in great detail with just one phase of life or one typical activity in any locality.
