Hi all.
We recently published our first travel book (while travelling). We decided to start with an eBook (which is free to publish and you dont need middle men) and see how it goes. After a partially successful crowdfunding campaign, we raised some good money to print it and have it available as a paperback.
We have more than 3 months to add (or remove) stuff from the printed copy and here I am to ask for your contribution.
In the paperback, we want to add a section with
useful readings & publications (we have online resources only and smartphone apps) that will add some value to our book as well as provide the future reader with more valuable resources and of course spread the word of other worth reading travel resources through my resource. I think it is called collective thinking!
Our target audience is people who are getting prepared for the epic trip (which will preferably last for a long time), people who need inspiration through real life stories of others who quit everything, sold everything and started living in the road & people who look for travel resources and real life practical examples to get ideas & tips etc.
So, ideally, the list of books that I want to include in my
Useful Resources Section must be about preparation (no matter the vehicle since we analyze all modes of transportation in our book) but travel literature is not excluded!
Needless to say, that the writers must be real travellers-explorers, not digital nomads, corporations, ghost writers and HOW TO guides written from Instagram neo-gurus!
