A new, interactive resource for international travellers returning home.
Native Foreigner, an online community for travellers returning from an extended trip abroad, has just launched the first issue of its quarterly magazine, Native Foreigner Magazine. This digital-only magazine is designed for international travellers who are experiencing reverse culture shock and would like to share their stories, photos and videos from their time abroad. In addition, travellers can connect with one another through the online community at www.nativeforeignermag.com.
Native Foreigner Magazine includes personal travel articles, recipes, photos and information about upcoming events. The digital concept is not only interactive, but it gives subscribers quick and easy access to content. Various versions, including a flip-page design, tablet-friendly versions, downloadable pdfs and text-based articles make it easy for users to choose the format most suited to their needs.
“After returning to the United States after a year-and-a-half living in Costa Rica, I realized that there are very few resources for travellers adjusting to life back home,” says editor-in-chief Lindsay Hartfiel. “Native Foreigner was created as a support community for those international travelers who want to connect with others and share their experiences as they make the transition home.”
In addition to the magazine, Native Foreigner features a blog that is regularly updated with information about ways to cope with reverse culture shock as well as news pertaining to international travel. Travellers can also submit photos, videos and recipes that will be posted online.
FACTFILE:
Native Foreigner was launched in January 2012 as a resource for those returning home after a significant amount of time abroad. Native Foreigner is published quarterly and is the primary resource for returning international travellers. Both single-issue and annual subscriptions are available.

How to publish a book with Kindle
Publishing a book with Kindle is relatively easy.
First make sure your manuscript is finished and typo free. Then check it again. Also ensure that you check for the wrong word, spelt correctly! And the accidental double use of the the same word can be off-putting to your readers, so please check check for those, too!
You will need to design a cover. My cover was designed using a photograph my wife create. The image was sent to Powerpoint and the text added there.
The image -complete with text- was then saved as a jpeg.
Then you need to go to http://kdp.amazon.com and simply follow the instructions. They take you through setting a price plus various other features that you can use to help promote your book.
You are advised to use a .doc file or it might not work. In Open Office I was able to save it as a .doc file.
You will need to wait for approval and then your book is out there, in the wild!
You can -please!- check my book of short stories out at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0070DA1PO
The next book I am working on via The Rann Street Press? A book on basic health and safety principles for the workplace. A vastly different project, but one which I feel passionate about.
