Needed - Join the group of contributors to WAVEJourney.com
WJ is looking for articles to feature on our website and in our monthly
newsletter.  More specifically, we'd like first-hand travel experiences,
travel recommendations, travel tips, and hotel reviews.

In addition, we also print articles on, food, wine, health, golf courses,
history, and culture. The thing to remember here is that the focus of the
article has to be of interest or benefit to women.

To get a sense of what WJ is after, sign-up for the free monthly
newsletter (via sign-up box at top right of home page:
www.wavejourney.com), browse through some of the stories you'll find
at the Travellers' Tales link:
www.wavejourney.com/travellerstales.html
and the Travel Tips link:
www.wavejourney.com/traveltips.html.

At this time, WJ does not pay for articles or photographs.  However,
writers retain all rights to their work and submissions from new writers
are welcome -- the editors will work with you to get your article ready
for publication.  Other benefits (FAM trip leads, letters of assignment)
