At first glance this travel web site has the look and feel of an old cookie cutter personal page…but in reading the writers guidelines you’ll see that this is a good resource for writers trying to make their start. If you’re trying to get your first press trip, they give letters of assignment to “our multi-published freelancers” (which I’m taking to mean, repeat authors on their site).

They pay a $25 honorarium (waived if story is based on a press trip), and accept prepublished pieces. Writer’s Digest voted them #8 world-wide, out of the 25 Best Places To Get Published Online. Editor is Vic Foster.

Thanks Rabbit. I’ll take that as a hint to come back pdq! 
Sorry for the delay. I received more blog fanmail today, so I will make the extra effort. I have tons of posts backlogged and finally a day off from the grind to get to it!

This is a great recommendation. I have mixed feelings about their stated policy of taking additional rights to publish in their newspaper chain (without additional pay, from the way I read it). Good exposure and a way to gather clips, I suppose. But somehow it seems a small honorarium should be added if they choose to use it for other purposes. I assume they notify the writer if the piece is used in print, so at least a credit/clip is gained. Btw, I always find your weblog useful. SO glad you’re here
