Travelers' Tales, Solas Awards

 Some of my proudest moments of travel writing were seeing some of my narratives in a Travelers' Tales book. They now have some new travel writing awards called the Solas Awards. The TT editors will chose winners in 21 categories ranging from adventure to humor, from destination to memoir. The grand prize category has cash awards of $1000, $750 and $500. The Solas Awards are part of BestTravelWriting.com a great new website filled with stories and news related to travel writing. Executive Editor Larry Habegger also has a site of his own.
