Coverage By Freelance Writer Outdoor Events

By Andrew Brown


When it comes to documenting different types of travel, freelancers are often the best at doing so. For, there is often a lot of coverage by freelance writer outdoor events on a regular basis. Whether covering the Winter Olympics, Wimbledon, a camping trip or local events, these individuals often have great stories to tell about experiences while attending these events.

One of the biggest events which these individuals cover is that of the Winter Olympics. For, it is an event in which there are a lot of outdoor activities and competitions. In addition, as the games move from place to place, the stories submitted are often part events coverage and part travel writing. As a result, readers often get two different aspects while reading the stories in whatever publications accept and publish the work.

World travel is often what attracts writers to this type of writing. For, as there are a number of outdoor events which take place in all areas of the world, there is often a great deal of travel involved when accepting an assignment. Whereas, there are also those whom stay and work closer to home on local, regional and national events.

For many, the great outdoors can be a great escape from the reality of the daily grind. Whereas, the change of scenery for writers can often be awe inspiring. Whether writing about events, politics, romance or travel, it is a job few are lucky to have. While this is the case, anyone with the ability to write can often break into this type of travel writing.

In most cases, a writer documenting an outdoor journey will keep a daily dairy which will later be converted into an article or story. While documenting the journey, it is important to document all aspects including any experiences with camping issues, hiking or encounters with wildlife. After which, it can often be easier to create an informative and telling story to the audience of whatever publication may pick up and publish the story.

While there are many websites which offer work to freelance writers, some are better than others. One of the best ways to find publications in which to submit this type work is that of the annual Writers Market hardcover or paperback publication. For, the publication offers a number of different type publications with writing guidelines and contact information along with the type of work which each accept on a regular basis.

Regardless of the type of publication, there are often specific writing guidelines associated with calls for submission. When desiring to get published, it is extremely important to meet any deadlines associated with submission while also following these guidelines.

One of the biggest decisions a writer has when it comes to this type of writing is whether to work as an independent freelance writer, or one whom is working on a contract basis for a publisher. When it comes to the first, there is often a great deal more work when it comes to getting a story accepted and published. Whereas, when working directly for a publisher, one is often assigned a story which has already been scheduled for publication.
