Writing Quotes by John Gimlette

American travel writing is very healthy. I’m always flicking through the reviews and I see plenty of travel writing – and an impressive line up and continual demand.

I am always surprised when people do get upset. Perhaps its just the nutty people who write to newspapers who get upset.

I don’t therefore know how to write for the big papers. It must be kids – students – and retired people. And the reality is they are overwhelmed with people sending in their holiday stories and bits and pieces and so on.

I feel better off doing what I know how to do. I feel a strong element of fictional style in travel writing anyway. Some call it creative nonfiction.

I find the public reaction to writing – it’s fascinating in this modern age. Of course people are able to interact with me and email me, and I get quite a few I suppose.

I have to be careful not to visit one place right after the other and write one book after the other. Because I fear writing the same book all over again. That’s why I am taking a break and doing something different this time.

I often think I would like to come even closer to home and write about somewhere like Wales, for example – which we in England tend to be a little snooty about. That’s where the coal comes from and that sort of thing.

I was writing the Paraguay book, a Paragauyan told me that only five thousand people in Paraguay read.

I would love to write a book that opens people’s eyes to the more interesting side.
