Focus on... Travel Writing with Jacqueline Harmon Butler

Each month, I'll feature a guest post from a writer sharing insights on his or her specialty. This month, Jacqueline Harmon Butler talks about what it's like to be a travel writer. A little about Jacqueline... she's the recipient of many press awards for her writing, including Italy’s prestigious "Golden Linchetto Prize” for best foreign journalist and the Lowell Thomas Gold Award for internet publications. 

Her travel writing has appeared  in a variety of international publications and anthologies, tempting readers’ palates with mouth-watering meals and leaving them salivating for more. Her book, The 7th Edition of the Travel Writer’s Handbook (Surrey Books), leads the potential travel writer through the entire process of becoming one.  This book is often used in University classes as a text book.  (For more about Jacqueline, visit her website.)
