Lowcountry Womens Fiction Author For People Who Love The Outside World And Writing

By Debra Nelson


Writing is not always about sitting behind a desk and typing on a laptop. Sometimes writers go outside their offices and homes to explore the world and write about it, one of this genre is Lowcountry womens fiction author. Example of writers and writers specializing in this genre includes Jonathan White, Catherine Marshall and Ben Groundwater, they are book authors, journalists/travel writer, and columnist respectively.

Usually, these writers take trips to places offering recreational activities like camping, kayaking, biking, scuba diving, hiking, hunting, and etcetera. While others use these experiences to write books like The Science and Spirit of the Ocean by Jonathan White, the majority write articles to sell to travel magazines, websites, newspapers, and outdoor trade magazines.

They can write almost about anything related to the outside world. For example, if the visit Two Harbors, they can write about the great view the place has. Which equipment is and is not available for hire, what activities are the most enjoyable and the type of fish and flora you will see when you get there. Also, they can give an estimate of how much the trip will cost you overall.

You cannot rewrite a novel 6 times and sell it 6 times because you ll be telling the same story using different words. People won t buy it. But you can go on one trip and write more than 6 articles about that trip using different pictures you took there and sell it to multiple buyers at the same time. That is how an outdoor writer maximizes his/her profits, by making sure that he/she sells the rewritten versions of one article to several buyers.

A freelance writer sitting at home and writing research articles rarely makes financial losses in this career because they don t spend that much money to write the articles. So if no one buys the articles, they will have only lost the time they took to write them. On the other hand, travel writers spend a vast amount of money to travel to holiday destinations and when they get there they want to have a full experience of the area, so they pay for all activities, fine dining and wining. If no one buys their articles, the money they spent there won t be recovered.

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.

People who are good with words and love traveling or observing the outside world can be travel writers.
