Created by David Whitley, a successful freelance travel writer with articles published in magazines and newspapers around the world, 1001 Travel Writer Tips looks to be a great resource to anyone considering a career in freelance, and in particular, travel writing. Actually, it looks like it's going to be a great resource for freelance writers at all levels of expertise.

#4 Don’t get too precious

#5 Find the editor’s real e-mail address

In fact, I'll make it easy for you by posting a link each day to the latest tip over on sidebar under 'Daily Travel Writing Tip'.

Thanks Liz. Much appreciated - I hope it comes in useful. The main reason I started it up was so that I didn't have to write the same lengthy missive every time someone asked for tips :)
