Do you want to dramatically increase the chance of getting your house -- or a client's house -- published?
If you've ever tried to get a house published in magazines or websites, you already know how hard it can be. There's so much competition, and editors get pitches all the time for fantastic houses. I know this because I was a shelter magazine Editor in Chief.
You need to grab editors' attention and make them want to publish the house you're pitching, no matter what.
And that's where this workshop makes all the difference. Following my insider tips, templates, and examples from these 22 video lessons, you can WOW editors and convince them they should publish your house, too.

Hi, I'm Travis Neighbor Ward!
Getting my own work published changed my life -- and it made me want to help others get published. I'll tell you how I published hundreds of houses. But first...
Here's what interior designers are saying:
"Travis has been so valuable in understanding the best approach to pitching projects to magazines. The "Get That House Published" workshop walks designers through every step of the publishing process, from preparing your shots to finding the right people to contact, to following up.
Her experience as a publisher establishes her as a trusted source, and it is clear that she truly knows what she is talking about as she guides you through this process. Travis has a very soothing, authoritative voice that is reassuring and confidence-building, giving the comfort needed to submit the project and be okay with it if it doesn’t get published the first time.
Knowing the reasons, the schedules, and the number of submissions received helped prevent the “rejected and give up” syndrome, and helped me move on to the next option with energy and excitement. I am working through my first pitch now, and have sourced out my next option if things don’t work out right away with the first choice.
The best part is that I don’t feel bad about it. I feel optimistic, informed, and ready to go! I never would have known where to begin without this course. It’s a must for every designer!"
- Rachel Waldron, Owner of Waldron Designs

Does This Sound Like You?
Do you have a house that you think is ready for publication, but you’re not sure if certain magazines or websites are "out of your league" and that doubt is keeping you from pitching it to editors?
Do you want to stop feeling overwhelmed by the idea of trying to get your house published, because you “don’t know editors” or haven’t been published before?
Have you been published in local magazines and want to make the leap to national and international publications?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then this workshop will make it 10x easier for you to get published! Plus, I’m going to help you save time and money by pitching faster and better.

I know how it feels when you desperately want to get published...
When I first started my magazine career, I was desperate to become an interior design writer and editor. But I was too afraid to ask editors how they did their job... It seemed like there were "insider secrets" I just didn't know...
I hated the feeling that other people were getting their work published and I wasn't. I became determined to learn how the system worked, and how to master it so I could achieve my goals....
Over the next 25 years I moved up the editorial ladder and wrote for lots of magazines and websites. I learned exactly how the house pitching and publishing process really works....
When I became an Editor in Chief, I was thrilled to have the power to choose what went into each issue!
Since I started back in 1995, I've published hundreds of houses, and worked with hundreds of interior designers, architects, bloggers, and PR people.
Over time I discovered that some people were doing a much better job at getting my attention! And it wasn't just because they were famous designers, although I have worked with many of them...
It was because those people were crafting their pitches to make my work easier. That made me want to help them get published even more... So even if I couldn't fit in their house as a feature article, I'd find another way to publish their house.
Being an Editor in Chief made me want to share what I learned with people like you, so you can maximize your chance of getting your work published, too.
Now I'm going to share all my insider's secrets with you in Get That House Published...
Then you can apply what you learn in this workshop, and pitch your house as a feature, as part of a roundup, and more.
This workshop is designed to help you reach your publishing and marketing goals. When you reach your goals, I know I've done a great job. I want to help your interior design project get all the attention it deserves.
