Ok everyone, I just got an email from Rebecca Browning, the Acquisitions Editor at Avalon Travel. Polish up those proposals and send them in…
Here’s what she said:
Avalon Travel Publishing needs writers who can write guidebooks that
are part of an existing series. Candidates be experts on the destination
and be able to write to series specifications. For more information on the titles we’re seeking, please visit www.travelmatters.com/acquisitions.Proposal instructions are also posted on that site. To be considered as a candidate for any title, writers MUST submit a complete proposal. We pay royalties, with an advance dependent on the destination. Authors own the copyright to their work.
We’re especially interested in finding writers with ties to Idaho, Michigan, Brazil, and Nevada.
If you didn’t know, Avalon Travel Publishing does Moon Handbooks, Moon Metro, Foghorn Outdoors, Road Trip USA, and the Dog Lover’s Companion. You can get to each of their guidelines by using the acquisitions page link above.
