Want to be a featured guest on Break Into Travel Writing Podcast?

I’m looking for guests that can share their experience and expertise with my audience of travel/lifestyle writers and bloggers. I’m interested in talking with bloggers, writers, PR & marketing reps, brand managers, tourism boards, and reps for tools that make a bloggers life easier (scheduling tools, apps, email marketing, etc).

I’m scheduling interviews for Q2 & Q3 of 2021 for this podcast that you can find on Itunes (and currently receives 12,000 downloads per month).

About the Interview: All interviews are audio-only and recorded via Skype. Most interviews run between 30-60 minutes. They are fun and easy! You will be a featured guest on my travel podcast (12k monthly downloads), featured on a post on my blog (including links to your website and social accounts), featured on my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. This is long term exposure.
