Over at The Indie Travel Podcast, Craig Martin is looking for a handful of willing (and able) writers to contribute to his new book, Travelling Europe.

Since HostelBloggers have always been a big fan, we’re hoping that it’ll be just the first in a series of similar publications. But in the meantime, there’s the small matter of getting the words on the page in the first place…

Articles should be 500-800 words and full of practical advice about independent travel in Europe. The following sections are up for grabs:

- Solo male travel

- Solo female travel

- Disabled travel

- Family travel

- Travel for Over-50s

Now for the important part: in return for your efforts you can expect to have 15 shiny US Dollars pinged into your Paypal account. Then of course there’s the joy of being published (alongside a short bio and grinning mug shot to prove it) and maybe taking another step closer to becoming a travel writer.

If all that sounds like something you a) Could do and b) Could do well, you should send an email detailing your proposal (along with your perspective, experience and an article outline) to: mail@indietravelpodcast.com.

Good luck!
