Want to be a Lonely Planet Writer?
Lonely Planet is putting on a Blue List contest and three lucky writers will get to travel to Shanghai in May 2006 and check out what the day of a guidebook author is like.
All you need to do is submit a "Blue List" here
Here's more information on prizes:
In May 2006, we will fly you to Shanghai, China, for one week, where you will hit the road with an experienced Lonely Planet author and learn some of the tricks of the trade while developing your travel writing skills. This experience of a lifetime is bound to be a lot of fun, but keep in mind travel writing is not all matching luggage and Beluga on arrival.
Upon return you will get a chance to put your newly acquired skills to good use as a Lonely Planet writer commissioned to provide content for LonelyPlanet.com. What that entails exactly is up to you but you will get to pitch your ideas to us and go through many of the same processes as our authors. Write a feature article, produce a podcast, there's a world of opportunity - and we will pay you for it. And who knows, if we really like it we may get you to do more.
To top it off, your winning list will also be immortalised in next year's Bluelist book.
