Writers' Guidelines
Caribbean Travel & Life is in its 20th year of providing stories and photos about our fascinating region. Potential writers for the magazine must understand that our audience is made up of upscale, sophisticated and experienced Caribbean travelers who visit the region repeatedly. Therefore, our readers look to CT&L to guide them to new and interesting places to visit and to present the many facets of Caribbean culture.
The editors of CT&L are always open to ideas from writers. Our only requirements are that the writing be superb, the subject be something unique and interesting, and the writer must know his/her material. To understand what kind of stories we buy, read the magazine. We do NOT run generalized travelogues, guidebook-like island profiles, or standard stories about well-known, over-publicized or commonly visited places. Our readers demand behind-the-scenes stories, off-the-beaten-path destinations and ahead-of-the-curve knowledge about the Caribbean.
Most of the major features in CT&L are assigned to staff or to writers with whose work we are familiar. New writers will have better success starting off in one of our departments. Always keep in mind that the availability of good photographs to illustrate a story is essential.
