5.0 out of 5 stars
Best "how-to" guide,
By
This review is from: The Travel Writer's Handbook 5th Ed: How to Write and Sell Your Own Travel Experiences (Paperback)
I read a lot of "how to" guides (trying to find career that I can enjoy) and Mrs. Zobel's is the best so far. She does a great job expanding on the basics and injecting her own personal stories when examples are needed. I re-read the book before every trip so that I don't forget any of her advice. I've already started research on one of my favorite destinations.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very thorough and helpful,
This review is from: The Travel Writer's Handbook 5th Ed: How to Write and Sell Your Own Travel Experiences (Paperback)
I am now reading this book again before departing to Italy. I am not exactly a "travel writer", but I need some of the same skills to write and edit my travel website. This book is a tremendous help in preparing for a trip knowing I will come back with the information I need. This books coveres everything from packing to writing. It is very readable and very useful.
