People often think that all writers are introverted book nerds; that is not always the case. In fact, some famous award-winning writers like Ben Groundwater and Catherine Marshall have each traveled to over 80 countries in their lives. They are extroverted and love writing, so they combined these two characteristics to excel in outdoor writing. Also, Lowcountry womens fiction author earn good money by writing about its living experiences observing the world.

It is fun being an outdoor writer, they go to trips regularly, make notes about the food and activities (kayaking, camping, fishing, and etc.) there and finally write articles or books and sell them. Jonathan White, a well know writer wrote a book about the experience he got when he visited the ocean, his book title is The Science and Spirit of the Ocean.

These articles may cover topics involving what makes a particular holiday destination fun, how to get there, how much it will cost and the type of equipment available. Some are used to advertise an area, they give detailed descriptions of the activities on the site. Alternatively, the experience may be used to write reviews about a recreational area.

One advantage of this writing genre is that once an article is written, the same information can be sold to several people at a time. However, the writer should make it meet the individual needs of each buyer while making each article unique. One way of achieving this is to make rewrites of one article, use different pictures and follow the guidelines of the buyer while rewriting the article. So, with one trip, several articles can be written and sold to different people.

There are times where travel writers are at risk of having a financial loss. During these times they would see that they actually spent more than they should have had when they were on their trip. The money they gain from the articles they wrote will be less than the money they spent to find enough information to write those articles. Or perhaps, the book they wrote is not making enough sales to cover the money they spent writing it. This is one major disadvantage of this writing genre.

These writers don t really have time to enjoy their stay at a beach or a restaurant, this type of traveling changes from being for leisure to being a work travel. Taking notes, interviewing local people and taking pictures is what travel writers spend their time doing on these tours. Unlike people who travel for fun and to relax, outdoor writers have to be very observant while touring, they must look for things that make the places to tick, after all, they want their articles to sell.

Outdoor writing is not about writing about traveling experiences only; it involves any form of writing that covers outdoor activities. Some writers write about their backyard gardens, their farms, local weather, and their local geological settings. They don t take trips, they just go outside of their houses, observe their surroundings and start to write.

Travel writers travel worldwide and make money from that.
