Fodor's Editor seeks Alaska writers

[Roisin Cameron]

Fodor's Travel is looking for writers based in Alaska with deep local knowledge.

Fodor's is a leading guidebook brand for American travelers with more than 300 titles covering most corners of the globe (www.fodors.com).

If you are working in Alaska, or know any reporters/factcheckers who are currently stationed there, please be in touch. Feel free to pass this request on to friends, colleagues, and other journalism listservs. Please note that we hire journalists who have local expertise, i.e. most writers work in the specific country/region or live there at least part of the year. We're looking commission immediately, and assignments will be due back in early May. Topics include sights, restaurants, hotels, nightlife, the arts, sports and shopping.

If interested, please forward your resume and clips to Roisin Cameron at [e-mail]. Clips demonstrating experience writing restaurant, hotel, or site reviews are especially valuable. Please include a few lines about your topical expertise. Also note how long you have been in the state, and your familiarity with the more remote areas such as Denali National Park and the interior, and your willingness to travel. Strong writers preferred.

Many thanks!
