Write a Non-Fiction eBook: The Travelogue

Mitch Woodhead

February 20, 2015

Not everyone has the opportunity to travel to interesting and exotic places, but if you are a global traveler, your experiences can be turned into a fascinating non-fiction eBook in the form of a travelogue. This image-intensive non-fiction eBook format can take a variety of forms, from sharing stories about your own adventures to providing guidance for those who wish to follow in your footsteps. Consider combining your travel writing with another non-fiction eBook genre, such as how-to or a recipe eBook. Catchy titles like "How to Travel Europe on a Shoestring Budget" or "The Food and Folklore of Chile" might attract an entire niche of readers. Ultimately, a travelogue provides readers with a good way to learn about a place they might want to visit or a place they want to enjoy but that someone else visited.

Elements of a Good Travelogue

When you're writing about your travels, you should:
  • Clearly describe locations, buildings, and people important to your experience
  • Include research or background on the area you're writing about
  • Share details of your experience while there
  • Provide tips or advice for those planning to visit the area
  • Include images wherever possible
