Travel Writers Wanted: India Insiders' Guide

This writing opportunity is now closed.

We're looking for Indian travel writers who can help uncover the most incredible, authentic experiences around the country.

Please only apply for briefs regarding areas you have direct knowledge of. Research is great (and getting the details right is important), but what we’re really looking for is your first-hand expertise.

We’d also like you to weave in some descriptions of what you personally saw and experienced: describe the temples and scenery, the smells of the local markets, the temperature at the time of year you visited – tell us what it felt like to be there – bring India to life for the reader. Assume they know nothing.

Please note – we have specific briefs, with specific requirements for style, tone and approach. DO NOT SEND COMPLETED WORKS THROUGH THE APPLICATION FORM. You must apply to be awarded the commissions, where you should include links to published work or your own travel blog, and if you’re successful, we’ll be in touch with more details regarding the assignment.

Deadlines: Applications have closed.

PaymentUS $0.50 per word.

Expertise required: Professional writers and photographers wanted. See individual stories for more details. Read through our guidelines for writing here.

These stories are designed to be standalone blog posts to be featured on WorldNomads.com, but will also be reformatted to become a downloadable Insider’s Guide.

We'll contact you if your pitch has intrigued us. Give us detail that will make us want to know more.
