I have just finished a travelogue which is an account of the six years I spent living and working in Cuba. Has anyone any idea of how I might begin to track down publishers that might be interested in this genre? I would be grateful for any tips at all.

Have you looked at the latest Writers' and Artists' Yearbook? I thought this was the starting point for all writers looking to submit.

Begin by posting it on here. You'll soon get an idea whether it is readable, let alone marketable.

Go to a bookshop (pref) or browse online for travel books you like and note the publisher-then you could contact them direct or look for an agent who specialises in travel writing. Worth posting on here as well but be prepared for "this is not fiction" reviews.

Only an "s" stands between laughter and slaughter.
