Most Lonely Planet guidebooks are updated on a regular
basis by teams of between two and 10 authors (sometimes
over 20) and we have a large pool of authors who we
regularly contract, but we also regularly recruit new
authors. All authors who work on our books are freelancers,
hired on a contract-by-contract basis. We do not employ staff
writers. If you are interested in becoming a guidebook
writer, please send us a covering letter, your resume and
two examples of your published writing work (preferably
travel related) including details on where and when they
were published.
