For editors


TrustyPony isn’t just a weblog, it’s a print column developed by a professional travel writer as a way to bring fun, informative, impartial travel-product content to publications of all sizes.

ABOUT THE MONTHLY TRAVEL-GOODS COLUMN
A new column, based on a theme tying together five to seven travel-friendly products, debuts each month (see below). Edit is brief, yet more in-depth than what you see here at TrustyPony.com. Here’s how one column appeared in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune, for example. Ooh. Here’s another one, in PDF form. Absolutely all products featured in all columns have been tested.

HOW DO I GET THE TRAVEL COLUMN?
Upon request, print-ready text is emailed directly to you, with contacts for each product, and the corresponding high-res images are available on this site (below) for your art director or designer to download at his or her leisure.

HOW MUCH DOES THE TRAVEL COLUMN COST?
You can afford TrustyPony. Rates depend on circulation. Email us. We’ll figure it out.

TAKE NOTE
Column theme suggestions are welcome, as are custom assignments.
