Fodor's Travel is looking to refresh its pool of writers for its Italy guidebook. Fodor's is a leading guidebook brand for American travelers with more than 300 titles covering most corners of the globe (www.fodors.com).

If you are working in Italy, especially in the Dolomites, Milan/Lombardy, Piedmont, Puglia, Sicily (or anywhere else in the country) please be in touch. Feel free to pass this request on to friends, colleagues, and journalism listservs.

Please note that we hire journalists who have local expertise (i.e. writers who work in the specific region or live there at least part of the year). We're looking to make assignments by end of October and assignments are due back in early January. Topics include sights, restaurants, hotels, nightlife, the arts, sports, and shopping.

If interested, please forward your resume and clips to Salwa Jabado at sjabado@fodors.com. Clips demonstrating experience writing restaurant, hotel, or site reviews are especially valuable. Please include a few lines about your topical expertise and your fluency in Italian (English speakers preferred).
