Teach Yourself Travel Writing

I recently had the opportunity to take "Teach Yourself Travel Writing" on a trip. Although I have no intentions of being a travel writer myself, I thought perhaps I could get a few ideas and capture the essence of my experience. I was not disappointed. "Development of an Article" was very informing.I have since given this book to several of my traveling friends. It makes a nice "Bon Voyage" gift.

Practical tips for writing and traveling

I never considered writing about traveling until I read this book. I learned some practical tips while traveling: for example how to pack utilizing my suitcase in an efficient way and what to wear. The author suggests dressing in clothes that are appropriate according to the customs of the area, which helps myself and those I am interviewing feel more comfortable. This is a must read for anyone wanting to publish their travel writing and for the average traveler who just needs some tips to make their experience more enjoyable.

An enriching read!

As an avid traveler for years, I have kept a diary of all my trips. This book has enriched my journeys and become my guide to achieving a secret goal that I have always had to write about my travel experiences and try to get them published.
