Patricia Schultz
A number of the contributors whose work appears in Travel Weekly and on TravelWeekly.com are writers and photographers of international renown: They write best-selling books and are featured in the pages of the most widely read magazines in the world.
That portion of their work that appears exclusively in Travel Weekly becomes part of our Masters Series.
Monday's Masters Series cover story features the writing of a woman whose books have sold more than four million copies. Patricia Schultz is best known as the author of "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" and "1,000 Places to See in the United States and Canada Before You Die." She was also executive producer of the Travel Channel's TV show based on her first 1,000 Places book.
Schultz also has written for Frommer's, Access and American Express guidebooks; and for publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Real Simple and Delta Sky, the airline's inflight magazine.
She has created content exclusively for Travel Weekly on several destinations, and returns Monday with a report on the timeless appeal of Greece.
Among other writers who have appeared in our Masters Series:
• Pico Iyer, who has both authored critically acclaimed, best-selling books and also written for dozens of international periodicals; he has been an essayist for Time magazine since 1982 and is a former Harvard writing professor. His TED talks have been viewed 4 million times. He recently wrote about a Delta Airlines exhibit based on one of his books that was installed at a TED conference.
• Mark Edward Harris, whose award-winning photography has appeared in Vanity Fair, Life and Conde Nast Traveler, among others, turned his lens on North Korea and Japan recently in Travel Weekly cover stories.
• Abe Peck, former dean of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and a former associate editor at Rolling Stone magazine, who has explored topics for Travel Weekly from the problems facing gay travelers to the sometimes dicey political challenges of visiting Tibet.
The Masters -- Harris, Schultz and Peck are also contributing editors -- complement the largest, most experienced, award-winning staff in travel business journalism. The combination of the Masters and the daily publication of staff-written news, trends, research, analysis and opinion provide Travel Weekly readers with a critical business advantage: unrivaled industry insight.
The Masters Series. Only in Travel Weekly.
