The types of stories I love to write are often difficult to find homes for because of their uniqueness. I’ve decided to start publishing them here. I’m starting with my “woo woo” series, which has been an exploration of my belief system as an adult. I did end up writing about this specific experience forContinue reading “Finding spirits in Old Florida”

How to Maximize Work on Guidebooks
Now that I have my first Lonely Planet guidebook under my belt, I wanted to share some tips that might be helpful to others working with guidebook publishers. I’d written one before, but it was my own, so I didn’t have an existing format to follow or a content management system to learn. As withContinue reading “How to Maximize Work on Guidebooks”
The Boozy Atlanta Book Tour
During the release of my last book, I found myself traveling all over the South, appearing at bookstores, sometimes to very small audiences. It not only took a lot out of me financially, but also physically. This time around, since my book is local, I wanted to approach it differently. Thankfully, I’ve met some greatContinue reading “The Boozy Atlanta Book Tour”
What I Learned Writing (Another) Guidebook
My very first book was a guidebook, so when I was asked to update a company’s guidebook on a region in the South, I figured it would be a breeze. I’d already done this, not to mention on my own, and am an expert in the region so how hard could about 5,000 words be?Continue reading “What I Learned Writing (Another) Guidebook”
Coming Soon! (Sort Of) Book #2
I haven’t posted much about it because I’ve been so deep in the writing process, but a few months ago, I signed a contract for my second book.

You can search publication + editor and sometimes it comes up. Sometimes the editors even have their emailContinue reading “Where I Find Editor Contacts”
Writing Goals for 2022
What a year. It’s funny looking at last year’s vision board because of the things I prioritized. I included the words “home, travel, culture, and reinvention.” I wrote about the first three and focused on personal reinvention. I wrote, pitched, or was assigned 186 stories in total. Of that, 41 were rejected, 65 never receivedContinue reading “Writing Goals for 2022”
5 Essential Tips for Aspiring Guidebook Writers
In the early days of travel writing, a guidebook commission was considered to be the golden ticket, the way into making a living. But as publishing has decreased, the medium has become less popular in favor of online guides. However, guidebooks are still used by travelers, especially brands like Lonely Planet and Rick Steves.
