Reviews

Travel articles are gaining in popularity as a way for writers to make a buck, but, consequently, the competition has become keener. Navigating the rocky shoals in turning an exciting trip into a publishable piece of writing is a path piloted here by one who has had lots of experience. The theme running through O'Neil's helpful guide, as she explains the classification of travel articles (including "destination," "side trip," and "personal essay" ) and discusses marketing techniques, is the importance of journal keeping while traveling. Maintaining a good journal--" the nucleus of travel articles" --is the first step, as O'Neil expertly shows, in the process of becoming a published travel writer. Brad Hooper
