Last month I mentioned that I had entered a travel writing contest over at Wanderlust and Lipstick. Well, the winners were announced today and unfortunately, I wasn't one of them.
But that's okay. After reading all the winning articles, I can see why they were chosen. Check them out for yourself.
Grand Prize Winner was Ylli’s Gifts by Jann Huizenga
The eight 'Best in Category' winners were...
Lost and Found by Shelley Seale
Memento Mori by Charlotte Chester
Anatomy of a Bribe by Antonio Sanchez
Commiserating with Camels by Alexis Wolff
Shangri-La by Tom Czaban
The Calcutta Railway Riot by Vicki Flier Hudson
Check, Please
by Kay Vail-Hayden
Riding the 341 by Mara Gorman
Make some time to read these fine travel articles. I promise that they will not only entertain you but also make you look at how you craft and create your own travel articles.
After reading them all, I realized that in order to improve my own travel writing, I need to...
- add more local color to my writing.
- add more local characters to my writing.
...and I think I'll start by revising the article that I submitted.
