About Us
We are a group of freelance writers, journalists, editors, and travel and tourism professionals who live and work in the Pacific Northwest: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and British Columbia.
Our goals:
- To present workshops and seminars on marketing freelance articles and photography to both print and online publications in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
- To explore changes and trends in the freelance writing world, particularly the use of social media in managing and marketing one’s brand and also to explore developing income-producing web sites related to travel writing.
- To offer support to travel and tourism industry professionals who highlight Pacific NW destinations, attractions and activities, historical sights and sites, and all-season recreation.
