contribute a feature
Guidelines for submission
Subject matter & text
Features fall into one of three categories; destination, accommodation and cruise. We are not interested in round-ups, listicles or items written from desk research. Features must be written as a result of first-hand experience, so are usually written in the first person. Features are usually around 800 - 1200 words. Please submit text as a word document.
Please include a URL where readers can get more information about the subject, such as a tourist board. Bear in mind you are writing for a global audience so links should not be dependent on the country of the reader. However, if you were hosted by a travel organisation then of course include them in the fact box.
Images
We also need images to illustrate your feature, in JPEG format. Images must be your own. DO NOT download images from the internet as all images are copyright of the original photographer and many are subject to licence fees.
If sending text and low-res images (around 150kb each) please email to the address below. If sending larger files or hi-res images then please send the text by email but please send the larger image files by the free service We Transfer (www.wetransfer,com). Please do not send hi-res images by email and do not send text with embedded images as we need images as separate JPEGs. Please note that in most cases landscape images work better than portrait. It is useful to note in the text approximately where the images should go as it may not always be obvious.
About You
If you are a first time contributor please also send text for your by-line. This can contain a link back to your website. Check out some of the items already published if you want to get a feel for how it all works.
Promotion
Features are regularly promoted on social media, not just when they first appear, and where possible host organisations will also be alerted to the promotion efforts. All features carry an extended by-line which includes a brief biography of the writer and a link back to their site. This is repeated in the "Meet the team" section which also includes an optional image of the writer.
General
If you are not sure whether your feature is suitable then by all means email the text only for review.
The email address to use is: [email protected]
