Amazon.com Review

Taking the trip and experiencing the anecdote are considerably easier than selling the story. Whether you want to go professional or just want to expand your audience beyond your family and friends, you need to plan ahead to successfully market the fruits of your vacation. Louise Purwin Zobel, a college writing instructor with hundreds of published travel articles to her name, explains the basics of research, audience, market, titles, queries, freebies, photos, angles, interviews, and the latest boon to travel writing: the Internet. She promises that with the mechanics under your belt, you can succeed, and her confidence is catching.

5.0 out of 5 stars All here--nitty gritty details plus broad overview, too!, May 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Travel Writer's Handbook: How to Write and Sell Your Own Travel Experiences (Paperback)
Zobel does a superb job of both introducing the novice to the work of the travel writer while at the same time providing the type of tips & insight even experienced travel writers will find stimulating. The sections on marketing are some of the best I've seen in any book on writing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive introduction, July 24, 2001
This review is from: The Travel Writer's Handbook: How to Write and Sell Your Own Travel Experiences (Paperback)
I really liked this book. The first six chapters are a little hard to get through, but the rest of the book is well worth the effort.

The chapters on interviewing, what to take with you, and market research are great. I learnt a lot from Zobel, her writing is friendly, helpful and crammed with useful and unusual facts.
