Travel Writer's Field Guide Podcast

Society & Culture


This episode is our favourite so far! We take a sideways glance at one of the most challenging areas of writing and especially travel writing, and that’s the elimination of cliché, of journalese, of the hackneyed, the superfluous and the empty. We look at the language editors abhor, common mistakes, the use of overly formal words (amongst, whilst), and also the use of exclamation marks. No editors like exclamation marks. None we’ve ever met.And then we name the worst travel writing cliché offenders! And a big thank you to Craghoppers who support this podcast!
