Great markets, Colleen! I've been meaning to submit to Travelers Tales for over a year now and just never have. Thanks for reminding me about it!
So glad to see you doing well with your writing. :-) I haven't visited in quite a while, but my 'real world' life is settling down a little more now and I'm trying to make my rounds back to all my favorite blogs. Yours is one of them!
Have a fantabulous day, writing the cyber highway!

Hi Michele,
I know, I've looked at Travelers Tales several times and ended up submitting to other places instead. They have such open topics, and so many different books they're working on - which you'd think was a great thing - but it's a bit overwhelming.
I'll make you a deal: we both submit an article to them by the end of July. That would give us two months to work on something. What's the worst that can happen? They send it back? ! :)
Thanks for the nice words about my blog. I take them to heart, considering the source.
Absolutely! I'll commit to submitting to Travelers Tales by July. I'll keep you posted. :-) Best of luck with yours!
You're most welcome for the compliments of your blog. Keep up the great work, Colleen!

Hey, Colleen, I'd love to invite you to a private network for women in media and for girls and women's advocacy. If you're interested in joining, contact me, and I'll send you an invite! :-)
Great! Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to write about...
