Strictly for the beginner Walter Mason This book is very much about the mechanics of travel writing.The author writes well, but if you are already writing this is probably not the book for you.Strictly for someone starting out - and in that case, this would be an excellent guide.. Barbara Hudgins said Good basic journalism. The author offers good solid journalistic information, geared toward the travel writer. Who, what, where, when and why, "show don't tell", hooking the reader with a good lead and other writing conventions are covered with great care in this book. Even though it's called "Teach yourself Travel Writing" don't expect writing exe. A good, short, nuts and bolts approach. This was my first time reading about travel writing and it was a quick, easy read. Good practical suggestions. Geared more to travel fluff than to travel literature, but that's okay we need to learn how to do it all.
