Follow the guidelines - Jeremy Head tells us what its really like to write a guide book.

Ever wondered what it's like being a guidebook writer? Jeremy Head wrote his first guideook for Frommer's last summer, Frommer's Seville Day by Day and he tells us what its like:

It seemed like a natural progression. I'd been writing freelance travel features for newspapers and magazines for several years. Most people think this must be the best job in the world. Being paid to swan around visiting places. In reality it's hard work and not very well paid. One destination quickly begins to look like another. To make the job pay you spend the minimum time necessary in a place to get your story. Consequently it can be frustrating. You see the briefest of snapshots - just enough to pepper your prose with some local colour that's hopefully not too clichéd, and then back on the plane home.
