I've picked up a lot of experience writing my first two travel guides and will be using any lessons learnt to write all future travel guide books.

Through my "How to Write a Travel Guide" series of articles I'll be sharing tips and information about how you can write your own travel guide .

Here's a couple of things to bear in mind before we start:

If you're looking to make a easy quick buck, then travel guides aren't the answer.

I can't provide you with some secret sauce to write and publish a travel guide with no effort at all. But I can share the tips and tricks I've picked up during my own experience of researching and writing guides.

My goal is to take some of the "noise" of the unknowns out of your planning and creation process, and show you a few short-cuts.

I can show you how to streamline and plan the content creation enabling you to focus more time on writing your content and less on the logistics of travel guide writing.

In the coming months I'll be posting articles, helpful tips and action lists and images and infographics to help you on your travel guide book journey.

  2. I’ve heard a lot of folks raving about Scrivener, and I’m temeptd to check it out. My toolbox actually consists of a bunch of Word docs with the manuscript and notes and all kinds of leftovers that I have taken out of the WIP but can’t bear to part with. LOL I also use an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of the various scenes, POV, what’s missing, what needs to be added, etc. I think my toolbox needs a little more organization though! That’s next on the list.
