Travelwriters UK has 70 members, most of them established full-time professional travel journalists. There are also some successful newcomers. All contribute to UK media, which is a membership requirement.

The function of Travelwriters UK is to give individual professional travel writers and other travel journalists a 'shop window' that can be seen by editors anywhere in the world. In addition, if work offers are sent to us, they are circulated to the membership.

Travelwriters UK was created by the British travel writer Andrew Sanger in the year 2000. It is still run by Andrew together with his partner Gerry Dunham. Andrew deals with day-to-day contact with members, forwarding offers of work and answering any queries. Gerry deals with new applications, administration and all questions from non-members.

Although a membership organisation, it is not a charity. However, prices are kept low to encourage more writers and other journalists to join, on the basis that the more members it has, the more useful Travelwriters UK will be to each of them.
