About Written Road
Jen Leo's resource for travel writers, www.WrittenRoad.com, may seem like a simple online journal at first glance. In actuality, it is a virtual café with an international readership that has been growing since 2002. Through a lively daily blog, award-winning travel writer and editor Jen Leo shares her experiences in the publishing industry and provides a daily scoop on travel writing as she makes her way as an editor, writer, and traveling socialite. The site is a unique and refreshingly honest view into the life of an emerging author, a personal, day-by-day account of the process of changing from an unknown to an accomplished professional. Along the way, there are practical discussions of market leads, author events, marketing tactics, travel books, a writer's philosophical quandaries, and perhaps most importantly, a few inspirational triumphs. Readers most enjoy her news of notable writers, new travel books worth reading, submission guidelines, and the individual support they receive.
Jen Leo is a magnet for misadventure and always ready to gamble on having a good time. She is the editor of the best-selling Travelers' Tales women's humor series, including the award-winning Sand in My Bra, Whose Panties Are These?, and The Thong Also Rises. You can find Jen's writing in books and magazines such as A Woman's Passion for Travel, Hyenas Laughed at Me and Now I Know Why, Lonely Planet The Best of Las Vegas, TIME, Playboy, Student Traveler, Audrey, BLUFF, and Women Poker Player, among others. She divides her time between California and Las Vegas where she writes for VivaLasVegasBlog.com between adventures in the poker world. Check in with JenLeo.com to find out what she's up to next.
