We'd love
to include your writing (and/or photos) on VisitsItaly.com
VisitsItaly.com
is rapidly becoming one of the most
comprehensive sources for English-speaking
people traveling in Italy.
As
you will see from the home page, we haven't
completed even basic information for many of
Italy's 20 "Regiones". That's
where you come in. We need
your contributions so travelers to Italy can
rely on VisitsItaly.com to show them the most
interesting, most beautiful and most memorable
places in the country.
In
due course, VisitsItaly.com will publish
specialty guide books and other
publications. If your work is accepted
here, we will look forward to working with you
in the future too.
To get an
idea of what we're looking for, read the
Abruzzo or
Marche
regional sections, where VisitsItaly.com got
it's start.
Here are our
guidelines for submission:
-
Articles
should be no longer than 500 to 750
words. Short, pithy articles will be
given special consideration by your very
busy editor.
-
Venice,
Rome, Florence, Pisa and Milan etc are
covered in every guide book and
website about Italy. So, write about
these and other well known places if you
like, but why not focus your talents and
time somewhere off the well-trodden
tourist paths?
- We
"mark" for spelling
errors, syntax and grammar.
Please try to submit copy your favorite high
school English teacher would be proud
of.
-
Pleaaase...avoid
the first person narrative. We want the
story to have your personal
touch...and your passion for Italy...but
try to detach a little for the greater
good. So, no "I did this" or
"I felt that...", or you won't do this
and you will feel the editor's
wrath.
-
Articles
about towns or other specific destinations
should include "how to get there"
directions for travelers using cars, planes, buses or trains.
Don't forget to tell us the name of
the Region your destination is
in...unless it is the region itself you are
writing about (in which case, we will assume
Italy as the larger context.)
-
If
possible send appropriate photos with your
articles. Digital pix are preferred.
Naked bodies on white sandy beaches will be
scrutinized with extreme care.
-
Don't
forget to tell us your contact information:
name, email address, and your street address
where we can send checks to those whose work
is selected. If you'd like to write
for FREE, it can be arranged.
We'll
get back to you as soon as possible, but we have
a lot of writers submitting material every week,
so please allow at least 14 days.
For
more information or to submit an article, please
