I am privileged to have a friend who is a very well-known travel photographer and be acquainted with another and I'd say there are both money and perks in that field. <BR/>That being said, nothing captures the flavor of an exotic place in a past era better than the anecdotal account of the avid traveller of that bygone day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612426.post-27914971060165392602008-12-01T02:22:00.000+13:002008-12-01T02:22:00.000+13:00I'd be with Jane on this one.

There seems to be a big difference between travel writers who seriously write to make a living, and those who dabble and let their work be published for merely a small honorarium.<BR/><BR/>For new writers like Keith, the challange must be to make that leap to getting work properly remunerated. Magazines and newpapers like Granta, Wanderlust, National Geographic, the Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Cosmopolitan, CN Traveler, High Life, She, History Today, The Times, etc all spring to mind. And I guess some of those might well pay a decent check.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612426.post-52791449911419034682008-11-11T05:02:00.000+13:002008-11-11T05:02:00.000+13:00A nice interview, but Keith's stuff seems to publi...A nice interview, but Keith's stuff seems to published in non-paying media. I cannot quite see how you can make a living as a travel writer when you merely place your work websites and e-zines that pay zilch. Or nearly zilch. Take European Journal, Keith, where you had a neat article. But they pay about €10 for a piece that surely took you a couple of days to research and write.<BR/>Jane FermorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612426.post-3384850467125799392007-08-11T07:03:00.000+12:002007-08-11T07:03:00.000+12:00Glad you did this interview, Keith.

What a great guy. He really knows his stuff. Keith was nice enough to take me for a tour of where he lives and a few places within driving distance. It was wonderful to get a tour with a local(and a friend) and makes for a great travel story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
