## Resource

This week’s episode of Inside Travel Writing breaks down three pitching mistakes even good writers make and how to fix them: including irrelevant information, not giving enough attention to the headline/subject line, and sending pitches that are too vague. If your travel pitches are being met with silence or rejections, one of these three issues is often the cause, and diagnosing it is the first step to improving. Love the show?
