Kate Simon’s Expertise I've been a journalist for more than 30 years, working on national newspapers and magazines, print and online, specialising in travel writing and editing. In 2012, I moved into PR representation and consultancy for the travel industry, as well as continuing to write about travel for major publications. I was Travel Editor of the Independent on Sunday from 2005 to 2011, when I stepped down to become the roving part-time Travel Correspondent of The Independent and The Independent on Sunday. These days, I regularly contribute to national publications. But my main focus is providing SEO PR, content and marketing services through Traveltappers (www.traveltappers.co.uk), the company I run with fellow travel journalist Simone Kane. Simone and I draw on our long experience of working in the press, our deep knowledge of travel, and our understanding of the importance of an integrated digital strategy to offer PR, content and marketing for the Google age. I also host an occasional travel-writing course and training for individuals, companies and organisations in how to approach the media successfully. I have been a guest lecturer at Traveller's Tales and Write Stars workshops. I design seminars for media communications professionals on how to reach travel editors and key travel writers and maximise coverage in the press. Clients have included Rocco Forte Hotels, the Hotel Booking Agents Association, and the Association of British Travel Organisers to Italy (Abtoi). Specialities: • Travel PR representation • Travel writing, commissioning and editing • Travel writing and communications training • Public speaking
