Consumers Overtake Budget Travel (at Its Request)
By Jane • May 13th, 2008 • Category: Publishing News • •Budget Travel magazine decided to publish a “consumer generated” issue of its magazine. It received over 2800 submissions and resulted in 324 contributors to the final issue. Whether the consumer generated issue is a wave of the future or a gimmick remains to be seen. Budget Travel magazine editor admitted that the issue was “neither cheap or easy”. It paid normal fees as well as travel expenses for companions. The editing, apparently, was also a nightmarer.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
