Lonely Planet's 'Travel Writing,' Edition 3.0: Soliciting Your Input

Hi Don,

I am looking forward to "Travel Writing, Edition 3.0." Also, your hosting at Weekday Wanderlust a few weeks ago was great! I can't wait for the next event.

I attended a writing workshop this weekend with various panels of agents, publishers, and working writers. When the topic of self publishing came up I was surprised none of them were familiar with print-on-demand books; books that you can design, write, and market yourself on sites like blurb.com and lulu.com. I believe these print-on-demand books have the potential to unlock a wealth of creativity in travel writing with beautiful images and potentially great writing. On the other hand, they could also add to the not so great writing that is already present in the self-publishing world. I suppose only time will tell, but I thought they might be worth looking into for "Travel Writing, Edition 3.0."

Best,
Margaret Seelie
