Help is on the Way

As Max and I headed to our homes after the NY Times Travel Show we talked about how lucky we were to do what we love, write and publish. It sure isn’t for the money! We talked about the great contacts and friends met while searching out new destinations to visit. The conversation soon veered to our respective entry into the travel writing and editing game. Who published your first piece? Who was the editor? Then finally how did you get past the writers catch twenty-two. The please, “query with clips request”. It seemed insurmountable at the time.

That conversation led to a plan to help perspective travel writers get a little help. The plan is a mixture of grant and contest. For info check www.GoNOMAD.com or www.travelwriters.com Travel writers is also a good place to get inside info on the travel writing lifestyle. Read the bulletin board and get some great info.
