Good deal. Do you plan to enter this, or the ones below (previous post)?
So they get an image which they would normally pay a professional a substantial sum to provide, and all it costs them is a copy of the book? As travel writer just finding his feet, this depresses me no end.
Hi, Alicia and johnnyd4md,
I'm of two minds on this one. Yes, it would be nice to see your photo on the cover of a travel book. But there is no indication of any credit given and no moneterary compensation. Not a good deal for any professional writer.
But still, it would be nice to say that your photography is on the cover of a travel book....
Alicia, I'm not much of a contest person so won't be entering either of these. But thought I'd throw them out there for anyone who might be interested...
Cheers, Liz
