Holly studied Biology at university and, realizing she couldn’t actually read a graph or cut off the head of a cockroach, decided to train as a science writer. After working for four years at London’s Science Museum, Holly swapped cramped tube journeys for sweltering bus trips around the world, during which she realized her true passion was for writing about places which were so intriguing they could be make-believe. Since returning, Holly has worked as a freelance writer from her beautiful Devon base.
When Holly’s not writing about science or travel, she’s working on her first novel, Fallen Apples. Read an extract on her website: www.hollycave.co.uk!

Don’t Go It Alone!
Professional travel writers are eager to share their years of experience with you, show you the ropes, and help you officially become a travel writer.
Travel writing courses will teach you everything you need to know to launch your career as a travel writer. But more importantly, the contacts you make there will open doors to getting those all-important first published bylines.
Megan, one of our contributors, got her start with the travel writing course at Matador U:
"With each week’s lesson, my skills – and confidence – began to grow. I was absolutely shocked when a Matador editor emailed me and offered to buy one of my pieces for Matador. A few weeks later I was invited on a press trip in Cabos, Mexico. Then I sold another piece. I was doing it, I was travel writing!"
