- Can you address the advantages and disadvantages of a freelance travel writer vs. a staffer?
- These days safety is an issue. Are you concerned about safety during your travels?
- How should a beginning travel writer approach the subject of fees with a publication?
- I’ve heard the IRS sometimes doesn’t consider travel writing a legitimate career. Is that true? And if so, what do you do to dispel this misconception and to avoid or best prepare for audits?
