More Opportunities with Survival Books

My former publishers, Survival Books, are seeking more writers for their new series of "Culture Wise" books. They are currently looking for people to write titles about the following countries:

Mexico
Thailand
Scotland
Sweden
Russia
Cuba
Belgium
Korea

Survival Books are a thriving, London-based, independent publishing house. They publish in-depth handbooks for people who will be moving to the country concerned to work or to retire. They do not publish travel guides.

Ideally they want authors who live and work in the country concerned, but if you have lived in one of the countries above recently and know it well, it would be worth applying also.

Survival Books pay their authors at a set rate per 1,000 words, not by royalties. Rates are negotiable, but reasonable for the amount of work involved.

If you are interested, please drop the publisher, Peter Read, a line at peterread-at-survivalbooks.net (change the -at- to the usual @ mark). Please mention that you heard about this opportunity via Nick Daws' writing blog.

NEW ADDITION - 19 APRIL 2007 - Peter has just told me that all these vacancies have now been filled, so no further applications are required. More opportunities will be posted later this year.
