Biography

Janis Turk is an award-winning independent travel journalist and photographer whose new book Frommer’s TEXAS may be found in bookstores nationwide and on Amazon.com. There’s a good chance you’ve seen Janis Turk. Perhaps you’ve passed her in an airport as she’s jetting off to her next assignment, or maybe you’ve seen her in a travel segment on television or on CNN’s Airport Network. Perhaps you’ve picked up one of her books. Maybe you’ve heard her on the radio or a podcast for Frommer’s Travel, seen her byline in a magazine or a newspaper, or have seen her photography. Maybe you’ve turned to her hotel reviews for advice. You may have even drooled over Turk’s culinary photography in a cookbook, like a few of her photos from Restaurant Cochon, New Orleans, that appeared in in the James Beard Media Award-Nominated, Come in We’re Closed by celebrated cookbook author Jody Eddy’. It’s more likely, though, that you’ve seen her travel features on popular websites like www.travelchannel.com or www.GoNOMAD.com. Awarded the silver prize in the New York Travel Festival competition for travel literature in 2013, Turk began in journalism as a reporter for small-town newspapers and has since been the managing editor and travel editor for several magazines, as well an English professor at three universities. Today, she is an full-time writer and traveler. Besides her home with the family she loves, Turk says the best place she’s ever been is on the road.
