Writing in Style: My First Article in a Travel Mag

As I continue to spread my wings as a writer, the Lord has opened door after door of new opportunities for me to channel my creative energy through the different media available to us today.

I owe this life-changing, lifestyle-altering career break to a travel writing contest sponsored by Manila Bulletin, in which my travel piece "My Own Private Batanes" won. And the rest is history that's still in the making.

This month, I am breaking a new ground as a contributor for Travel Plus magazine. More aptly, I'm turning a new page, literally, as I segue from the newsprint of a national broadsheet to the glossy pages of a national lifestyle magazine.  But of course, no medium is inferior or superior to another. For a writer is still a writer by any medium of his choice, whether through the social media, newspapers, magazines, or books. And the more media through which the writer finds creative expression, the bigger the prospect of reaching a wider audience. In other words, the more the merrier!

My first travel magazine article, however, is not a travel story, but a review of the recently-concluded CINE EUROPA 15.

So, dear readers, I hope you can grab a copy of the November-January 2013 issue of TRAVEL PLUS at your favorite newstands. Happy reading!
