Writing Commissions I can work with you to produce travel writing content for your publication. An example of my work is this guide to family friendly cycling routes for Horizon Guides. Accommodation Reviews I can stay a night and write about my experience on my blog. My post about the Elphinstone Hotel in Biggar is an example of a project working with a PR agency and reviewing my stay at the hotel.
Destination Blogs I can write about travelling in specific regions. For example, I worked with Venture North who promote tourism in Caithness & Sutherland. I wrote a piece for their blog about the magic of taking the train to remote request stops and then setting off on your bicycle. I also wrote a post about cycling between Golspie and Dornoch as part of a social media promotion of the area.
Product Reviews I am happy to receive cycling gear to review. Some examples of my work in this area include a review of the Livall Smart Helmet and the Rearviz cycling mirror.
Sponsored Posts and Sponsored Links I am happy to consider publishing relevant content and links on my site for an appropriate fee. An example of a sponsored post is this one on why you should swap your car for a bike.
Here are some other examples of my writing work:
