Amazing Travel Stories and Photographs needed for upcoming book

Submissions are now being accepted for an upcoming book called “V!VA List World: 333 Most Loved Travel Experiences” due to be published in April 2008. Viva Travel Guides are looking for 500-700 word articles and / or photographs about the most amazing travel experiences. Been to a place or had an experience so exhilarating that- if given the opportunity again- you’d conceivably plan your entire trip around it? Know of an exotic nook on the planet that we don’t, or traveled a known hotspot like the Taj Mahal in a way no one else has? Can you tell your story in such a way that it takes other travelers there without ever leaving their chairs? If so, your piece may be V!VA List worthy! Please note that payment is in the form of a proportion of royalties after the event, but this is a great opportunity for talented upcoming writers to get their stories published.

Submitted by Maureen A. Who says ” I hate this, I really hate these requests to ’send us your stories’ for inclusion in books. Why should people write these books for them for free? One assumes the publisher expects to be paid for these books, not give them away, no? “Proportion of royalties”?”

I couldn’t have said it better myself!
