| Job Description |
Avalon Travel Publishing is seeking writers to author four new guidebooks:
Moon Handbooks Spain. We are seeking one author
for each book. THESE ARE CONTRACT POSITIONS, NOT FULL-TIME OFFICE JOBS.
Professional writers are preferred. Authors must be able to quickly and
clearly identify the key attractions of the destination and provide
strategic planning advice. They must have close ties to and strong knowledge
of the country. Authors must also enjoy research and be able to adhere to
strict deadlines. ATP Authors are compensated with an advance and royalty.
Moon Handbooks authors update their books every two to three years.
BE SURE TO VISIT www.travelmatters.com/acquisitions for more information.
To be considered as an author for these Moon Handbooks titles, please send
us a proposal (email with attachment is acceptable) that includes the
following information:
1. The topic and geography of your book and its title.
2. The reasons that you would be the best author for this book. Include
applicable experience, education, and other materials previously published.
Be sure to attach a copy of your resume and contact information for at least
three professional references.
3. A description of all other books currently available that would be
competition for your proposed book. How would your book be different? Why
does the market need your book?
4. An elaborate description of the contents of your proposed book.
Include an outline, estimated length (we expect Moon Handbooks Greece to be
about 650 pages and Moon Handbooks Spain to be about 700 pages), types of
photographs and illustrations that you think it would require, and how they
would be obtained. If you are submitting a proposal for a guide in one of
our current series, the outline and other proposed content must match the
requirements listed in our series guidelines.
5. Ways in which you think your book could be most effectively
promoted.
6. The estimated time needed to complete your manuscript.
Please remember that the review process may take two to four months.
Unfortunately, we cannot respond personally to every submission.
Address all correspondence to:

The idea for this portal came out of our increasingly frustrating experience of scouring all possible job vacancies sources to find a job which wouldn’t kill our will to live.
Our mission is to make it easy to find unusual or less mainstream jobs. Please note that this is only the beginning, be patient as there will be many more postings soon.
This service is totally free. In order for it to survive, we have decided to allow content-specific advertisement to appear on the site. We hope all information you find in this portal will be useful to you!
