And hey, here's some advice you didn't ask for. While I love to do all kinds of destinations, I found that working with PR folks who cover destinations I've already written about is a great first step. I wrote a Hawaii guidebook before I ever did bloggy stuff there. I had written about our road trips in BC extensively before I had anything to do with the PR folks there. I'd written about Austria on and off for YEARS, this is the first time I've had any support from PR for my travels. History helps when you don't fit neatly into a niche. That and having a solid pitch beyond "I want to go to..." We'll visit. I'm looking forward to it, neighbor. I’m not a niche writer either. And hey, here’s some advice you didn’t ask for.

I loved what you had to say and I took quite a bit away from the narrative workshop. I went to TBEX with no expectations and in the end, I met some pretty damn amazing people who I've been following online for a bit now (yes, you are one of them!) and I also got snubbed by some people (mostly PR people, because I don't fit into a nice and simple niche...heck, I'm still figuring that out!). It was one, big learning experience and I learned SOOOOO much! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Can't wait to have coffee the next time I am in Seattle or you are in Portland!
