I have been working on a proposal for a nonfiction book. In order to write this book, I must visit a faraway country and stay there for a while.
There is no way I would be able to afford that travel on my own. I don't have a credit card either and can't get one because of my bad credit.
What I am wondering is how travel expenses work when they are necessary to the writing of a book. If I got a publisher interested in my book, is there *any* chance they would front the travel costs? I couldn't afford to pay and then reimbursed, so I'd pretty much need them to cover everything up front.
I realize that would be a huge gamble on their part, but I just have no idea if it's possible.
So how does it usually work when you incur travel expenses during the writing of a book?
