Travel Content Writing & Translations

Book Cover "Zu Fuss durch Dublin", Sylvia Payne, Droste Verlag, Germany. — "12 Guided Walks through Dublin"

I am the author of a comprehensive, print-published travel guidebook featuring 12 themed walks through Dublin. It was released through the established German publisher Droste in July 2026.

This passion project perfectly showcases my unique intersection of skills: deep expertise in the Irish travel trade, profound ground research, and a proven ability to capture the complex Irish heritage in culturally adapted German travel writing.

With a fully published book under my belt, I am aiming to continue my cooperation with travel companies operating in the German-speaking (DACH) market, while intensifying my work with local suppliers in the Irish travel trade by offering premium travel content writing.

I help travel brands, tourism boards, and small businesses to connect with their audience through original travel content writing and professional translations.

Content Writing: Custom travel itineraries, articles, and engaging copy.

Translations: English to German translations for websites, marketing materials, and visitor guides.

Proofreading: Thorough editing and proofreading of German content.

Newsletter & Brochure Design: End-to-end content creation and design for digital and print campaigns.

Content Management: Direct formatting and publication via WordPress and major CMS platforms.

"Creative, energising and humorous, Sylvia’s writing hooks the reader from the start. Her dynamic and inventive style changes any topic into a powerful story, where a careful reader discovers that the second bottom is, in fact, only an introduction to step even further into depth.

One of Sylvia’s greatest strengths is her open-minded approach and skilled (yet humble) competence. This makes it incredibly simple to negotiate the content, style, and length of each piece, ensuring that it aligns perfectly with the intended audience. Her ability to maintain a fast pace without sacrificing quality is an additional bonus. This has been evident in her pieces accompanying our newsletter (2500+ recipients), which have remained in the top 3 most opened and read articles in each edition.

I recommend Sylvia’s creativity with a joyous heart and pure consciousness. Her unique writing style and ability to turn any topic into a compelling story would make her an excellent fit for roles such as content writer, creative writer, or even a novelist."
