Your manuscript is both good and original; but the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good.

Into the wilds of Croatia |
|
I shall be spending most of June exploring the mountainous hinterland of Croatia as part of research for a book I'm writing. I'll be in the region of Lika, where my parents come from, and which is little known to tourists apart from the Plitvice National Park. It was also where the 1990s civil war in the former Yugoslavia began, and where things are slowly picking up after years of turmoil. I plan to write travel articles on the region as well, so I am happy to hear from editors who want an insider's guide to a part of Croatia that is a world away from the crowded Dalmatian coast.

“On good days, Sylt is a lithesome figure that dances on the edge of the North Sea. A sort of nymph that guards access to Jutland behind. On dull days, Sylt just lies sullen, shrouded by charcoal cloud, and the lazy waves leave their murky flotsam on the beach. But it is on wild days that Sylt really comes alive in its watery solitude. The winter storms often bring a taste of sorrow.”
By Nicky Gardner, writing about the north Frisian island of Sylt in the March 2008 issue of hidden europe magazine (page 27). Courtesy of hidden europe magazine (www.hiddeneurope.co.uk). |
