About Moon Handbooks Authors

Moon Handbooks authors are professional writers who usually live in or near the destination they write about, or they have very close ties to the destination and visit often. The writer must love the destination, be very knowledgeable about its attractions, be able to provide strategic planning advice for travelers, and have previous experience writing about the destination.

We are looking for authors for the following titles:

• Moon Handbooks Carolinas & Georgia
• Moon Handbooks Copper Canyon
• Moon Handbooks Florida Keys
• Moon Handbooks Japan
• Moon Handbooks Santa Barbara & the Central Coast
• Moon Handbooks Virginia

We’re looking for a fresh perspective:

Moon Handbooks have always been the most comprehensive travel guides on the market. While our audience hasn’t changed, in recent years, their priorities have. They organize their time differently, and that has changed the way that they travel. Comprehensive coverage has become less important, and independent travelers have come to value strategy, accessibility, and selectivity.

We think guidebooks need to quickly identify the key attractions of each destination and offer strategic planning advice, all in a format that’s easy to navigate. With this in mind, we’re looking for authors that can help make Moon Handbooks more strategic, more accessible, and more selective.
