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.

Whether covering a local baseball game or the Winter Olympics, these individuals often write about a number of different activities. In most cases, freelancers write about various events, then submit to a number of different publications in hope of getting the work published. Whereas, there are also others who provide contract freelance work on an ongoing basis. In some cases, the individuals are paid by the word and at other times may earn a hourly wage or salary.

One reason that being a writer in this area is so attractive is world travel. For, many of those working in the outdoors often visit amazing and astounding places all over the world. Whether being hired as a freelancer by a specific company, magazine or newspaper, or covering various events then writing articles one hopes will sell, all offer good and bad experiences.

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.

While there are different approaches to documenting a journey, most writers do so by keeping a daily journal while working on an article or story. In doing so, the writer can then take the notes back home and create a piece based on all aspects of the experience. Whereas, there can often be a number of distractions if and when trying to write while actually in attendance at an event.

The Writers Market, Writers Cafe and other writing sites can offer a number of ideas for writers. In addition, the Writers Market list a plethora of magazines and publications which accept articles of different categories. When it comes to those related to the great outdoors, the publication has a rather large list of publications in this genre.

One of the most important considerations when submitting work to professional publications is the guidelines associated with the listing. For, if an article or story does not adhere to the guidelines provided, the writer will most likely receive a rejection letter. Whereas, an article or story is interesting, informative and intriguing and formatted with the required guidelines, it is often more likely the work will be accepted by at least one, if not more publishers.

Ultimately, one of the toughest decisions when it comes to this type writing is whether to work on a freelance basis or attempt to locate a permanent position as an editor or assistant editor at a publishing house. In the first case, writers are often either paid on an hourly or salary basis. Whereas, when working freelance, payments can often range depending on the number of words or according to the entity offering the work.
