What Freelance Lifestyle Writing Looks Like Across Travel, Wellness, Food and Fashion

Lifestyle writing is more than just glossy, inspirational and effortless editorial work- in fact, behind every captivating lifestyle piece is a writer who understands how to perfectly blend storytelling with strategy. As a freelance writer, my job is to help brands, publications and businesses communicate in ways that feel engaging, helpful and inspirational. Here is what this looks like across the different lifestyle industries… 

Travel Writing: Turning Words into Experiences 

Travel writing is about transporting readers emotionally and visually to destinations that they want to visit. This means crafting content for clients that: 

• Inspires bookings, tours, or itineraries. 

• Highlights a destination's unique identity through storytelling. 

• Balances information with description. 

• Integrates SEO naturally. 

• Spotlights local businesses and culture in a meaningful way. 

Whether it’s a hotel, a destination marketing organisation or a travel publication, my goal is a freelance writer is to create immersive content that makes readers want to visit. 

Wellness Writing 

The wellness space is a saturated space, and readers are bombarded with wellness content all the time. This means that they are more skeptical than ever too, so effective wellness writing needs to be: 

• Evidence-informed and researched. 

• Empathetic rather than prescriptive. 

• Inclusive and accessible to all. 

• Rooted in real expertise. 

For wellness brands, therapists and product companies, I write wellness content that builds trust, tells stories and drives sales, all in balance. Good wellness writing reassures your audience that your audience is in the best hands when dealing with you. 

Food Writing 

Food writing isn’t just about taste, it’s also about culture, memories, emotion and, as with all areas of lifestyle writing- storytelling. When writing about all things food, I help my clients too: 

• Tell origin stories of restaurants or chefs. 

• Create approachable recipes and step-by-step guides. 

• Develop menu copy. 

Writing about food means writing about experiences- experiences that your audience can enjoy for themselves when they read about you. 

Fashion Writing

Fashion writing is yet another branch of lifestyle writing where storytelling is everything, along with a balance of creativity. I create written content that: 

• Translates trends into wearable ideas. 

• Delivers personal and emotional product copy. 

• Tells brand stories that resonate with audiences and makes them want to know the brand more. 

• Uses a tone that aligns with the brand’s identity and audience.
