Wanderlust and Wild Dog Press are offering a publishing contract for an inspiring first person travel memoir, one that gets others to step outside their comfort zones, onto the road, and ready to explore the people and places in this wide world of ours. Take us with you, be kind, be vulnerable, and write well!
Our sister organisation, WILD DOG PRESS, will publish a full-length travel memoir, and we offfer you a 15% royalty contract, plus shared marketing, promotion and submissions to at least three book award contests and/or travel trade shows such as Overland Expo. Let’s work together to get your work out there.
The final judge for the 2022 WANDERLUST TRAVELOGUE is Carla King.
Carla is a world explorer who likes to bicycle, motorcycle, hike, paddle board, kayak, snorkel, dive and write about it for those who want to follow and others who say uh uh, not going there. She is most often found roaming the backroads, trails, and kelp beds of Santa Cruz, California and along the west coast of America north to Oregon and south to Baja.
