jim-benning-300x240 Here’s part of an audio interview I conducted with Jim Benning, travel writer and Deputy Travel Editor at BBC.com. Jim tells me what he looks for in travel narratives.

Jim also discusses how he develops a narrative arc in his own work — for example, in writing Lust in Translation about his encounter with a Chinese prostitute who was trolling for clients. The story is great, and hearing Jim talk about it is even better.
