Travel Stories Needed for the Over-40 Crowd
By Roberta Beach Jacobson in Karpathos, Greece
40Plus Travel and Leisure is an e-zine just recently launched in the U.K. The editor, Steve Calder, is hungry for material. He welcomes all kinds of articles, from travel news and reviews to stories on where you might take a short city-break or an extended summer vacation.
The articles on the site fall into six main categories: culture, wine, gastronomy, disabled travel, ecotourism, and solo travel. The range of topics is broad here so there's plenty of opportunity to place an article... or maybe even more than one.

#1 Top Pick for Photo Gear -- Less than $30
You don't need a fancy camera to capture amazing photos you can sell.
But you do need to know how to get the most out of the camera you have.
In many ways, that's what separates the pros from the rest of us. They know the tricks to capturing fabulous photos in all sorts of situations -- situations that can easily trip up somebody like you or me.
But now you can close the gap between expert and amateur -- in seconds. And for less than $30.
Sunsets, beaches, people, sports, waterfalls -- whatever you're shooting -- our Photo Tip Cards tell you the best way to do it.
You just grab the card for the situation you're in, and it'll tell you which camera settings to use, what to look for, the pitfalls to avoid, and exactly how to get the best images.
Bundled as a set of 12, these Photo Tip Cards are easy-to-use... they slide conveniently into your back pocket (don't worry: the type is large enough to read!)... and they're laminated, so they won't disintegrate in a rain storm or fade in the sun.

to wait a few days for a response!
There still aren't any Writer's Guidelines on the website but you can contact the editor at the following e-mail address: editor@40plustravelandleisure.com (or you can phone him at 0870 87 901 40 if you live in the UK). Payments will be made in pounds sterling (paid by check in the mail).
Photos are not required. However, I provided photos with my first submission (though I see my husband, Alf Meier, didn't get a photo credit when the story went live). I've just had my second article accepted, and I didn't submit any photos with that.
Because this publication is just getting started, it's an excellent place for you to land a by-line. Few freelancers know about it yet, and that means you've got less competition.
