This is the advice i would give to Scott.
I was thinking that you start up a website where you publish your adventures, those photos and the less traveled destinations like a road trip to Ukraine. There are lots of monetary benefits.

I have to agree with “Austin Beeman”. Self-publishing is a quite better way if you manage to do it well.

What about self-publishing and selling through the web. You’d make more per book and need less sales to fund the next chapter of traveling.

Hi,
My own literary agent says that since the economic crash last year, only about 30% of new writers are getting contracts as compared to a couple of years ago. I’m still waiting and she is working hard to get a bona fide publishing deal for my travel fiction work, “Descending the Cairo Side.”

I have a full outline and an attention-grabbing query for my book of personal travel narratives. Unfortunately, nearly all of the agents that accept non-fiction queries require a synopsis. How does this type of book lend itself to one, when the stories are all independant of one another?

Thanks,

Julie

Do you have Scott’s contact info? I’d love to swap stories with him.
