Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Travel Writing (How to)

Book Review: The best book in its category
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is the ultimate study of Travel writing in the modern publishing world. It gets you ready, if you wish to contribute articles, for the world of publishing, the ups and downs about it all and why only the best of the best can continue in the highest papers. The competition is tough for the new comers, this book informs us, and it also informs very candidly that you would be putting your nerves in danger if you continue to receive rejections. The best part of this book are the numerous examples of best writing from the top writers of our times; it recognizes their individual styles and how they perform within the frameworks provided by different publications. For example, how would Dan fit within the framework provided by National Geographic Traveler magazine. And so on. This book also provides updated addresses and phone numbers for various publishers and papers.

My verdict: Buy it immediately. (And the layout is just simple and superb).
