AlmostFearless.com presents National Travel Writing Month

Are you an aspiring travel writer? Do you write lots and lots on your personal blog, but never seem to get those official query letters sent off to an editor?

Blogger and vagabond Christine from Almost Fearless is in the same boat, and she figures all she needs to break out of that paralysis is a little teamwork and motivation. So she’s launching National Travel Writing Month: the idea is for all participating writers to write one query letter each day, every day for all of August. There’s a forum set up for participants to post about their progress, share advice, brag about successes and rant about failures, and generally support each other through the month.

Even if you don’t want to join in the fun, the forum is public and you can still follow along. Check it out here.
