Can you please critique my letter? thx
After several years of reading various travel books, some more impressive than others, I’ve come to the forgone conclusion that there is something lacking in the realm of travel writing: the truth.
It's a dangerous word, I know, but I’m not afraid of it. From robbing hookers in Madrid to bribing cops in Russia, The Dangerlogues: Dangerous Johnny’s Guide to the World has enough excitement, drama and brutal honesty to give the reader more than a just a guide, but an experience. As you might have guessed, The Dangerlogues is not your typical journey guide.
The Dangerlogues consists of several short stories about my European misadventures. I am confident it is the most socially relevant travel guide written since Robert Young Pelton's The World's Most Dangerous Places. In it, I expose the truth behind the misconceptions of some of Europe's most popular vacation destinations
This 60,000 word book takes the reader through the first-hand travels of Johnny Dangerous, an eccentric and unfortunate Canadian who finds himself in bizarre situations in foreign lands. With enough alcohol and drugs to make Hunter S. Thompson blush -- combined with jaunts through ghettos and brothels -- this is not a book for the mild mannered.
Rather, it is intended for young adults, who aren’t interested in reading travel books which will only advise them of which museums to visit and which restaurants to dine at. I’m not denying the value of such travel guides, I’m merely saying that there is a huge market for travel guides which would truly appeal to 18 to 30 year-olds. Young people travel because they’re looking for excitement, and in my book, I tell them precisely where to find it.
Whether they’re looking for a place to get laid, or for a corner to score high quality dope, I’ve got them covered. The Dangerlogues grips the reader like few other stories can. There is enough excitement, drama and brutal honesty in it to offer to give more than a guide. It will give them an experience. Quite frankly, I can’t think of another book on the market like it.
I would be pleased to send you the complete manuscript, should you be interested in reading it. A SASE is included for your convenience and I hope to hear of your interest in my novel.
Sincerely,
John Doe
