Travel guides - writers wanted
Avalon Travel Publishing is seeking professional writers to author several Moon Handbooks. THESE ARE CONTRACT POSITIONS, NOT FULL-TIME OFFICE JOBS.
The list of titles we are actively seeking authors for include:
- Moon South Africa
- Moon Cambodia
- Moon Mumbai & Goa
- Moon Delhi, Agra, & Rajasthan
- Moon Bali
- Moon Mexico’s Copper Canyon
The writer should live in the country or city for which they are applying for, or must have very close ties to the area and visit often. The writer must be very knowledgeable about the area’s attractions, should be able to provide strategic planning advice for travelers, and should have previous experience writing about the destination.
ATP writers are compensated with an advance and royalty. These guidebooks will be in the Moon Handbooks format, and the writer selected to be the guidebook author will be responsible for updating the book every two to three years.
Interested applicants should send a resume, a cover letter, up to five relevant clips to acquisitions@avalonpub.com as attachments. In the cover letter, explain why you are the best person to write the specific Moon guidebook for which you are applying. Please include “Moon (specific destination name)” in the subject line of your message. Visit www.avalontravelbooks.com/acquisitions.php for more information about our expectations, the work involved, and additional titles we are looking to acquire.
No phone calls, please. Qualified applicants will be contacted and invited to submit a proposal for further consideration. (Note: There is no need to submit a full proposal at this point.) We apologize that we may not be able to respond personally to each applicant.
