Hello Jennifer,
This is an interesting contest, and truly a lot of money for a travel
written. I have not read the fine details and do not know who is qualified. I
may not be qualified because I am technically a professional. I make money by
travel writing.
I have met a few travel writers, mostly guide book writers. The guidebook
writers make about enough to travel, maybe. The ones who write for Newspapers
make a more, writing an article for a magazine maybe will pay you a couple of
hundred dollars.
This amount of money is great, although not for me, I do not write for other
people, cannot get myself excited enough to write for an editor. And good for
me, I make this much money every 10 days on the intern.
I encourage a person to write, money is almost impossible to make with travel
writing, writing a book maybe, the truth is a person has to like to write, more
than the money. As a side note, I offer 150 US for a well written Tip.
