I'm so honored to be speaking to my next guest, who pretty much is considered by everyone in the biz to be the godfather of travel writing! If I mentioned all of Don George's accolades & awards, we'd be here all day, so I'll have to point out just a few. Don has edited nine wonderful anthologies, he's written the definitive how-to book about travel writing called "Lonely Planet's Guide to Travel Writing," he's the editor at large & book review columnist for National Geographic Traveler, he's the special features editor & blogger at Gadling...& much more!

Make sure to follow along on the wonderful journey that Don provides with his words. You can read his blog at www.Don-George.com, or follow him on Twitter at @don_george, & also find out info about his wonderful Travel Writers & Photographers Conference at www.BookPassage.com.
