“The rules are changing fast. The way many successful travel
writers earn money has completely changed in the past five years.
The people really doing the best are the ones ignoring the traditional
paths of depending on others for a check and are charting their own
course.”
“So while this book is big on practical advice, it’s not so big on
most of the specifics you historically find in travel writing books.
The main reason is, the real money is going to the most creative
thinkers. They are making their own rules.”
