Seeking a challenging and rewarding opportunity? You’ve come to the right page.
Interested in writing for Rough Guides?
Rough Guides is always on the lookout for good new writers and researchers,
and is keen to take on board curious travellers capable of digging out the most
arcane information. An obsessive eye for detail is also a great bonus.
We keep a file of all potential contributors, which we dip into as and when the
need arises. Please send us some samples of your writing, along with 1000 words
or so on a place you know well, in what you consider to be Rough Guide style. It
would also be useful to know of any specific areas you feel most inclined to write
about. If suitable, we can add your details to the file.
As well, Rough Guides is always encouraging book proposals; if you would like to
compile one, we would certainly read it with interest.
The proposal needs to include: details of content, chapter by chapter; an analysis
of the competition; how your book would be different and better than the other guides
currently available; some details about yourself and why you would be the best person
to write such a guide; and a short sample piece of writing as if extracted from
your proposed book. Both proposals and writing samples/letters of inquiry should
be sent to the address below:
