If you live outside of the United States but have dreams of being published by an American publisher, it’s important to shop around for a publisher with the means and experience to reach the world. If you live in the US and want to sell your books to foreign markets, the key will be hooking up with a publisher that has this know-how.
How to Get Published: Teaming Up with Foreign Markets
A publisher that has gone beyond borders to publish and reach a larger world audience is Strategic Book Group. Their publishing division is motivated, which is good for any author who wants to break cultural barriers.
“Strategic Book Publishing aggressively seeks to bridge the gap between literary property owners and foreign-language publishers. By understanding the intricacies of the foreign-language marketplace and through close personal contacts with publishers around the world, SBP enables its clients to retain complete control over their intellectual property while taking advantage of a vast and virtually untapped literary market. SBP is committed to complete fiduciary integrity, transparency and the business ethics for our clients. SBP foreign publication rights are handled by a network of skilled subsidiary rights agents across the world. The principals and partners of SBP have successfully assisted with licensing rights in China, Germany, Australia, and Italy, to name just a few.”
SBP is a good example of a publisher that teams up with contacts in various countries like China, Germany and beyond to get authors’ works exposed to foreign markets. Many of their authors have been successful in selling thousands of books in foreign bookstores, as well as throughout the US markets.
How to Get Published: Understanding the Foreign Markets
The great thing about hooking up with a publisher that reaches beyond borders is the fact that they understand what sells in foreign markets. They do their research, study statistics, and have contacts and agents in many countries and throughout foreign bookstores. They also do research to locate the top ranking websites where to publish articles related to your book and etc.
How to Get Published: Marketing to the World
Another important thing to consider is the marketing services provided by a publisher to a foreign market. What may work in one country may not work in another. The good thing is an author doesn’t have to worry about this if they’re with a publisher who is knowledgeable and has proven their talents in the foreign markets.

Women Making an Impact on Travel
Women have made a big impact in all areas of life, and travel is just one more in the series. Road and Travel Magazine recently reported that, "Women business travelers have increased by 5,000% since 1970, comprising 40% of all business travelers, a $56 billion market. Women influence 85% of all travel decisions." If anything, these statistics show us the great impact women are making on today's travel industry. It is suspected that the above statistics will double in 20 more years, as business travel among women is at an all-time high.
American Airlines has been catering to women travelers for a while now. Their website, http://www.aa.com/women, states on their front page, "We've listened to women and recognized the need to provide additional information tailored to your business and pleasure travel needs and lifestyle." Reuters news service recently reported that American Airlines could increase its revenues by "$94 million a year by tailoring some of its services to the growing number of women travelers."
Other strong influences catering to women travels include travel clubs, forums, magazines, and hotel services. In fact, hotels are accommodating women's needs right from the check-in points at the reservation desk to hotel maitre d's, and the hotel room itself. Some hotels have in-room spas and fitness centers, as well as body and facial treatments and exercise programs. Many hotel rooms, in recent years, have adopted better soaps, shampoos, and lotions to please women. Hotel mirrors are now larger, and powerful hair dryers have been installed. They now include skirt hangers, too.
Women are more concerned with security when they travel. This is another area whereby hotels are catering to women travelers. Many hotels are offering valet parking, security escorts to women during late hours, and providing a lighter, more secure, parking with attendants on hand to assist in case of emergencies.
Many hotels are now providing childcare and other accommodations to make women's lives easier when away from home. Some hotels hire out childcare services. Checking in advance with the hotel to find out specifically what sorts of activities are available for kids in their daycare program is wise, and will put your mind at ease.
Women have impacted the travel industry both on the road, nationally and internationally, as well as impacted the way retailers at home do business. Now on the shelves of retail stores, you're more likely to find travel-related products and better bargains on luggage, business attaché cases, portfolios, and etc., as well as a whole host of electronic and computer gadgets to make life simpler.
Just like women have made an impact in today's travel world, their personal worlds have experienced major adjustments, too. From home and domestic life to shopping and social life, women's lives have changed drastically over the years. Most families have been two-income homes for years now. Women are major contributors not only to the bank account, but also to important decisions made in the home. Perhaps women have it tougher as they are usually the primary caretakers, even when working full-time.
Women are impacting their own home and family lives by taking responsibility to make their marriages and family lives work, as they know being away from home can be tough on everyone.
The "traditional family" has changed as expenses have increased. Though some couples still long for the husband to be the sole or primary provider, sometimes life circumstances don't allow it.
The fact is women have made a big impact in all areas of life, and travel is just one more in the series.
