From Silence to National Geographic and BBC Travel: Jade Raykovski's Travel Writing Breakthrough
For years, Jade Raykovski pitched without seeing much success.
Rejections, when she got them, were rare - mostly she heard nothing at all.
Then something shifted, and in a relatively short space of time, Jade went from wondering if travel writing was ever going to happen for her to landing commissions with National Geographic, BBC Travel, and a growing list of other publications.
In this episode, we unpack exactly how that happened.
We talk about:
- How a seven-week solo trip to Europe, taken just days after Jade quit her job, turned into 10+ commissioned articles
- The moment a small mention of a local festival in a pitch became the seed for a National Geographic commission
- How a rejection on one story idea led to a BBC Travel commission on the same idea — and what changed in between
- What it actually feels like opening an email from a major publication's editor
If Jade's story resonated with you and you'd like support building this kind of momentum in your own travel writing, applications for The Travel Writer Accelerator (TWA) are open now. Apply here to join The Travel Writer Accelerator
