Fodor's Travel seeks New Zealand writers

Fodor's Travel is looking to refresh its pool of writers for its New Zealand guidebook. We are particularly interested in South Island writers based in Christchurch, Canterbury, Southern Alps and Fiordland, Otago, Invercargill, and Stewart Island.

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 New Zealand, or know any writers/fact-checkers who are currently stationed there, please be in touch. Feel free to pass this request on to friends, colleagues, and journalism listservs.

Please note that we hire journalists who have local expertise (i.e. writers who work in the specific region or live there at least part of the year). We're looking to make assignments by late July and assignments are due back in late September. Topics include sights, restaurants, hotels, nightlife, the arts, sports, and shopping.

If interested, please forward your resume and clips to Róisín Cameron at rcameron@fodors.com. Clips demonstrating experience writing restaurant, hotel, or site reviews are especially valuable. Please include a few lines about your topical expertise.
