Book Reviews of Travel Writer's Guide
Book Review: Hmm...was keen to buy this but have a question...
Summary: 3 Stars
I was keen to buy this book, and was about to until I read a review that basically said "Burgett is the author of over 1700 published articles and 23 books. He knows the ins and outs of travel writing". The review clearly seemed to have taken this information from the book itself.
However, I checked this by doing a search on Amazon for this author, and all the results returned were of the "How to..." variety.....How to be a travel writer, how to make money freelance writing, how to make money selling seminars, even how to make money organizing a scavenger hunt (wtf?), etc...
I've never heard of Burgett before, hence the reason I checked...initially I searched to see if he was a successful travel writer (had his books been popular? Amazons star ratings would hopefully reveal that)...after all why buy a book on how to be a successful travel writer if the author himself was only a mediocre writer? But the results make me suspicious of the author having been a travel writer at all...Now I don't know what to do...anybody able to vouch for the authors credentials or shed light on this?
