"As a novice in the travel writing field, I wanted to let you know that one of the items published in Travelwriter Marketletter was directly responsible for several article sales. Though dozens of publications ignored my query letters, I doggedly kept sending them out, and a recent sale more than covered my yearly subscription to your newsletter. The editor was prompt, polite, very professional and easy to work with. Thanks." - Katie Wainwright

"In a tough economy my advice to writers is: more than ever you have to spend on marketing resources because more than ever we all need help identifying markets. Don't buy the fancy desk if money is short. Such things don't generate income. But do buy the good marketing resources that are out there and there are not many. Travelwriter Marketletter is one of them; it belongs on the short list of must-buys for everybody who writes about travel." - Robert McGarvey, columnist, Porthole Magazine
