A Publisher's Resource, Writer's Marketplace and Traveler's Guide
For travelers, you can discover the inside stories about the fascinating
histories and cultures of domestic and international travel destinations
before you visit. For publishers and editors of magazines, newspapers
and other media, this site will serve as a resource to purchase travel
stories and high-resolution photographs. And for travel and real
estate/relocation agents, the material is available for purchase and/or
advertising opportunities.
In early 2009,
Publishing Syndicate will begin serving as a travel story "advertiser,"
connecting
travel writers--and travelers with great stories to tell--with newspapers
and magazines that purchase travel stories. And if you are
interested in learning more about writing, check out our free

Principles e-Newsletter at

During
the next year we will be posting hundreds of our own travel stories and
photos on Places to Discover, hoping our work can help you
learn more about this exciting and diverse world we live in.
If you are interested in joining our e-mail list to be notified after we've made periodic additions to our Places to Discover destinations, or when we discover great travel bargains, please sign up today! We promise not to inundate you with dozens of sales pitches each month. And you can opt-out of the list very easily.
We're Always Looking for Places to Discover
Our world is a
dynamic place. At
Places to Discover
we will share with you, our fellow travelers, the hundreds of
places we visit each year as we research and write our new travel
guides. And we'll not be shy telling you about all the good and
the infrequent "bad" we run into.
Our focus, like most
of our travel books such as
Best of California's Missions, Mansions and Museums,
will be about the history and cultures of our many destinations. But we are
also outdoor enthusiasts with many years of experience traveling through
hundreds of our state and national parks--and working for a couple of
decades in California's beautiful state parks.
We will be adding new
destinations weekly, when we aren't too busy traveling. And we travel
quite a bit. So far in 2008 we've been to Costa Rica, Vietnam, Southern
California, St. Louis, Phoenix, Utah, Oregon and Washington. This fall
we're heading to New England to shoot the fall color and research future
travel stories. Then this winter we'll
be returning to Washington and Oregon
working on another travel book--Best of
Oregon and Washington's Mansions, Museums and More.
Our focus for adding
destinations to
Places to Discover,
at least initially, will be the West Coast of the United States, but
with a few other national and international adventures tossed into the
mix. Periodically, we'll likely include short reviews of restaurants,
hotels, campgrounds and maybe even equipment that we as travelers find
useful such as GPS units for vehicles and digital cameras for
documenting your trips.
