Dear Travel Writer,

Some people love technology.  They buy all the fancy gadgets and have the latest gizmos. They talk on phones that double as computers, and they carry cameras that weigh more than my right arm.

But a lot of us are somewhat clueless when it comes to technology.  If we plug our camera into the computer and our photos don’t pop up immediately, we have no clue what to do.  And while we’d like to send an editor an article/photo package, we don’t know how to put one together.

That’s where Computer Basics for Writers and Photographers comes in…

You see, when it comes to computing and technology, you don’t need to “know it all” to become a well-paid sought-after writer or photographer.

All you really need is a layman’s knowledge of how to turn on and use your computer plus a reliable and accurate reference guide to keep on your shelf should a problem arise.

• Need to resize a photo?  No problem, turn to page 121.
• Want to insert pictures into your travel article so an editor can see the complete package?  Turn to page 129.
• Getting frustrated because your computer keeps freezing and forcing you to reboot?  Flip to page 135.
• Think you have a virus?  Read page 137.
• Can’t find instructions for getting pictures off your camera and on to your computer?  See page 89.
• Want to insert a header or footer into your article?  Turn to page 26.
• Want to create a shaded box to illustrate your article sidebar?  See page 31.

… and that’s just for starters.

Computers… Complicated? Not Anymore

AWAI's Computer Basics for Writers and Photographers shows you step-by-step everything you need to know about computers to submit professional-looking work to an editor.

Best of all, everything is explained in the simplest of terms, so you don’t need to be a technical whiz to figure it out.

Over the years, we’ve searched for a computer guide just like this -- an easy-to-read, no-nonsense guide written specifically for travel writers and photographers…

But there wasn't one. What we found were guides that included way too much information.  Information even the savviest among us didn’t understand. (I mean, really: Who cares what a system “bus” is and how it works?) 

Or worse, they made an easy task into something incredibly complicated by using terms we couldn't understand or offering confusing explanations without illustrations that were more a hindrance than a help.

In Computer Basics for Writers and Photographers you’ll get:

• A complete guide to understanding your computer -- including a diagram showing all the major buttons, plugs, and switches.
• Specifics on using card readers and other external devices you might need to plug into your computer. 
• Instructions on how to use all the basic functions of Microsoft Word, from how to highlight and bold text to how to add a footnote to the bottom of a document.
• Advice on how to painlessly organize the files on your computer.
• Step-by-step instructions for resizing your pictures and getting pictures from your camera to your computer.
• Specifics on how to make sure your computer is secure and protected from viruses.
• Instructions for troubleshooting common problems that arise in day-to-day computer use.
• A bonus computer (and laptop) buying guide.
• Plus much, much more…

It's all here -- everything you do need to know about computers and nothing you don’t.

You’ll be amazed how much more you can accomplish once you put these computer strategies to work for you.

In fact, you'll wonder how you ever got along without them.

Before you know it, you’ll be formatting your travel articles and handling your photos like a pro.

With Computer Basics for Writers and Photographers at your side you'll have full access to all of the shortcuts you can use to create more effective query letters and turn out professionally laid out articles. So what used to take you hours to figure out you'll do in minutes!

Plus you’ll never have to panic over resizing your photos and emailing them to an editor, even if you have to burn them on a CD if that’s what the guidelines dictate. This guide explains it all clearly and in plain English.

Computer Basics for Writers and Photographers costs just $59. It's a small price when you consider the frustration you’ll be spared and the hours it will shave off the time you spend tinkering with your computer.

Reserve your copy today and guarantee yourself a quick, effective, and easy jump-start for your travel writing and photography endeavors. (It's a small investment that, with one quick article or photo sale, can pay for itself immediately -- and many times over.) 

If you're ready to turn this year into the year when you really boost your earnings... expand your skills... and start getting paid to travel... then I can't imagine a more effective -- or good-value -- way to ensure you have the computer basics you need to be out of the gate at a gallop, exploring (and enjoying) the world like no ordinary tourist ever does.

I'm confident you'll find this guide to be one of the best investments you’ve ever make. If you don't agree, you can always send it back within 30 days for a full refund
