Many of my current writers use this opportunity to write for Sophie’s Suitcase as a platform to showcase their talents in the travel industry, as well as using it as a portfolio on their CV.

By being a regular writer for Sophie’s Suitcase you will receive a link to your blog, a link to a non-competing blog post and a link to your social media profiles in your author bio (per post).

I also offer regular writers the opportunity to go on press trips on my behalf, when I am unable to. Press trips can include weekends in Lisbon, to week-long trips to the Caribbean. Whenever possible, regular writers will be offered the opportunity to take my place on press trips, when I am unable to.

I ask all regular writers to submit content twice a month where possible, just to retain consistency in my schedule. All blog posts should include imagery either owned by yourself or photos that are license-free from sites such as Pexels.
