Jan Schroder

I live in Atlanta and have been a professional writer for more than 20 years. I date that back to my first stories for a community magazine called Creative Loafing, where I earned $2.25 an inch for articles. Now I am a travel writer and the president of Schroder Media, a book publishing company. Nobody pays me by the inch.

My articles on travel appear in travelgirl magazine, where I am managing editor and web editor. I also write a weekly column called The Scoop, which covers the latest deals and trends in travel.

In addition to travel stories, I write about products, fashion and other lifestyle-related topics. For prior publications I wrote a column about restaurants in Atlanta for ten years and I was also editor of a group of local newspapers for eight years.

At Schroder Media, the book division of Schroder Public Relations, we have published four books, three of which I wrote. You can find information on each of them in the book section.

I am most excited about starting my blog, which will cover travel, book publishing, and, well, life. Come check it out – I promise to entertain and inform, and to paraphrase author Elmore Leonard, I will try to leave out the parts that people skip.
