The Moon travel series is looking for writers for both domestic and international titles. You can find the updated list of titles they are looking for at www.travelmatters.com/acquisitions

The site also has information about how to apply. Good luck!



Here's more information from one of their Craigslist postings:

Avalon Travel Publishing is seeking a professional writer to author the Moon Scotland guidebook. THIS IS A CONTRACT POSITION, NOT A FULL-TIME OFFICE JOB.

The writer should live in or near Scotland or must have very close ties and visit often. The writer must be very knowledgeable about Scotland's attractions, should be able to provide strategic planning advice for travelers, and should have previous experience writing about Scotland.

ATP writers are compensated with an advance and royalty. This guidebook will be in the Moon Handbooks format, and the writer selected to be the guidebook author will be responsible for updating the book every two to three years.

Interested applicants should send a resume, a cover letter, up to five relevant clips to acquisitions@avalonpub.com. In the cover letter, explain why you are the best person to write Moon Scotland. Please include "Moon Scotland" in the subject line of your message. Visit www.travelmatters.com/acquisitions for more information about our expectations and the work involved.

No phone calls, please. Qualified applicants will be contacted and invited to submit a proposal for further consideration. (Note: There is no need to submit a full proposal at this point.) We apologize that we may not be able to respond personally to each applicant.

Hm, they have one to Poland. But I'm afraid I don't have enough writing experience (certainly not profesionally) and my English isn't quite perfect either.
