Want info on Print on Demand? Here you go. It came in as a warning that was posted from one of my newsgroups called WorkforWriters on YahooGroups. I get a daily digest from them with heaps of informative posts. Lots of writers conferences, advice, contests, and links from across the nation and worldwide. Fyi…The international […]

Travel Blogs With The Boston Globe
Boston.com, the online version of The Boston Globe is inviting travelers to blog about their travels in their travel weblog section. I’ve been on the hunt for travel blogs anywhere, so please pass them my way if you see any that haven’t already been mentioned here. And of course, I highly recommend that you get […]
» Read more...Another Start Up Travel Mag
Richard Sterling, author of several food books for Travelers’ Tales and Lonely Planet, just asked me if I’d heard of this new travel mag. They are a UK outfit that is calling their new mag and site Trip Magazine. I checked out the site and it looks like it’s just in the beginning stages and […]
» Read more...Get an editor
Wow, I just spent the past 30-45 minutes editing a story for the author I’m working with — let’s call him Sam — and this story is going to be a seller! That is not his name, but I don’t know if he wants to be revealed in the blog, so, we’ll give him a […]
» Read more...“Because You Need To Eat”
That is the coolest motto I’ve ever seen for a job web site. I think I’ve just found the best resource for anyone wanting to get a job in the news, media, writing, and PR industry. A plethora of links (organized alphabetically) to web sites and job boards on the above topics. Editors, writers, publicists […]

I’m always talking about travel bookstores in and around San Francisco, because those are the ones that I know best. So, today I thought I’d broaden the spectrum and highlight a quality travel bookstore in the UK. Stanfords I’ve yet to visit their store, but I really like their website. And I was quite happy […]
» Read more...Faith and Follow-Thru
I spelled Follow-Thru like Drive-Thru because it reminds me of milkshakes and having a positive association might make it more fun. Lately I’ve been spending what seems like a lot of time every day reading newsletters and yahoo groups and doing Google search after Google search for market research. I’m learning lots and trying to […]
» Read more...It’s kinda like my birthday
Doesn’t take much to make me happy… Hold The Enlightenment: More Travel, Less Bliss just arrived. I’ve got a lot of work to do today before I can start reading it, but you can bet your lunch it’s going to make me work harder and faster for the rest of the afternoon. I might even […]
» Read more...Tell Someone You Love Them
I know of two instances in the past week when I’ve held back from telling my friends that I love them right when I was feeling it. Why? No good reason. Sometimes it’s difficult for me to say it out loud to people if I haven’t said it that many times before. And I find […]
» Read more...Just Request It
I was scouring the net last night looking for apporpriate magazine leads for both myself and the author I’m promoting. If the web site doesn’t have submission guidelines, just go to their contact page or feed back page and send off an email requesting writers guidelines. Those emails are generally looked at by an editorial […]
