Write for Lonely Planet...

...on FACEBOOK. Yes, oh my goodness - everyones on it! It seems to be invading the Internet by becoming this super informative portal where you can interact with anyone and everyone you've wanted to. I wonder how long this fad will last. Anyway, coming to the point: I might have caught on to this LP Facebook group late (I am member number 1,018!) - but there seems to be a fully rocking travel-writing community on here. Lonely Planet opens discussion on its wall and it becomes a forum on everything travel related. You can spring out a topic too, see the response, you might be surprised. The latest post from LP is the following: -------- "In our discussion topics post a Travel Journalism piece, add photos if it adds to the piece. It can be serious, funny, what ever you like, but we are looking for a piece of travel journalism, not a travel blog. We will choose the winner and give that person a full critique of their work and tips and tricks from our team at Lonely Planet to help you define your style and answer any burning questions." -------- Hmmm. Free advice from Lonely Planet on Facebook. Hmmm. Well. You'll be getting someone from LP to read your piece, no matter how crap it is, that's something to work a bit for dontcha think?

    Hmm... Sounds pretty sweet - I wonder if it comes with a free helping of abuse from some of the Thorn Tree regulars too. Those guys would love another forum in which to be gratuitously cruel to unsuspecting newbies... :P
