Book description
Getting paid to go on holiday may sound like a great lifestyle. But
there's a lot of hard graft involved - particularly, breaking into this
industry in the first place. Few industries have changed as rapidly as
publishing, and within publishing few areas have changed as rapidly as
travel publishing. This book will bring you bang up-to-date with the
latest trends in blogging, social media, magazines, websites, travel
guides, and travel books. It provides specific advice for each sector,
on how to write and, just as importantly, how to get published. Written
by Beth Blair, an American travel writer who has been published in
books, magazines, and online, this book is full of practical and
inspiring advice that will help you broaden your horizons and turn your
travel writing into cash. Beth Blair (Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul,
USA) has been a freelance travel writer for nearly a decade. Her essays
and non-fiction articles have been featured in various books and
publications including Aviation Security International, AirTran Airways
GO, FoxNews. com, CBSMinnesota. com, State Farm's Good Neighbor, Hybrid

Chicken Soup for the Soul. She is co-founder of the award-winning travel
