Jetsetters Magazine has many writers that can cross over from travel writers to express themselves intelligently about cultural events, including theatre, film festivals, music, concerts, book reviews, art, and other enhancing aspects of life. In many cases we are able to grant press passes to our writers for events that come with press tickets, including rock concerts, jazz clubs, Shakespearian Theatre, Live Revues, Broadway Plays, London Theatre, Vegas Shows, Jazz Festivals, and other types of events not normally associated with culture, such as rodeos, sporting events, the Olympics, etc. If you are a person with these qualities and the gift of a deep knowledge and flair to write about culture events, let us know when you signup so we can create special press packages for you.
Jetsetters Magazine also has a coterie of writers that love the good life associated with food and wine. These writers are exemplary twisters of tales about the fine art of dining. If you have the background in cuisine scripting, then we can also set up press passes to special events, food fairs, luaus, wine tastings, vineyard stays, restaurant reviews, cooking schools, theme events, chef interviews, and all intertwined around a robust gastronomic experience. |
