Testimonials
Roy Stevenson Travel Writing Coach & Mentor
“I’ve been working with Candi Licence as her travel writing and marketing coach and mentor for 18 months and am thrilled to say that she has transformed into a first-rate, professional writer. Her story ideas, query letters, and travel writing have rapidly improved to professional levels. She has also attended several intensive courses and conferences on travel writing and marketing, further indicators of her commitment to breaking into print media.
Candi’s work has been published in respected online publications, in reputable print media, and in a prestigious in-flight magazine. Not bad for a beginner!
Candi has also won an award for her travel story from Transitions Abroad and gained valuable experience as editor of the official Grenada SpiceMas Carnival Souvenir Magazine.
If you’re an editor considering one of Candi’s pitches, I urge you to commission her work. You will not be disappointed. Candi will happily and quickly do any rewrites or re-slant her story to meet your editorial needs, with no prima donna backlash. Candi has been a great student and has never let ego interfere with her learning the art and craft of professional travel writing.

…”Your query letter for this story is also excellent. I do not have any changes or edits to recommend. That’s the first time in two years that I haven’t had to edit any of my writer’s query letters, so you should be proud of yourself with this one!
