Gregor Clark bij Bibliotrek

I’m an author, editor and photographer, and live in London, England.

I work primarily for Lonely Planet, for whom I’ve recently written new editions of Lonely Planet Kauai and Best of Hawaii; written a Pocket Guide to Oxford & The Cotswolds; covered the whole of Texas for Lonely Planet USA; contributed to the North Carolina section of Georgia & The Carolinas; and updated the Corsica chapter of Lonely Planet France. I’ve also updated the last three editions of Lonely Planet Greece, and updated New Mexico for Lonely Planet Southwest USA.

I was for several years a senior editor with Rough Guides. I have written sixteen travel, history and music books for Rough Guides as sole author, including Hawaii, Brittany and Normandy and Southwest USA, and shared authorship on many more, among them Barcelona, Japan and Australia.

In total I’ve written 23 books on the Hawaiian islands, which besides the new Lonely Planet guides mentioned above include six complete editions of the Rough Guide Hawaii; individual Rough Guides to Maui, Oahu and the Big Island; and other guides including Insight Hawaii, DK Eyewitness Hawaii, Berlitz Hawaii, Smart Hawaii and Inside-Out Oahu.

My Rough Guide to the Titanic is a definitive guide to history’s most famous maritime disaster. You can read about it on my blog, blogtanic.wordpress.com, and website, gregward.info.

As an editor, I co-edited Rough Guides’ Make The Most Of Your Time On Earth with my wife Samantha Cook. I also edited Elvis Has Left The Building by Dylan Jones; Inferno Decoded by Michael Haag, for which I also wrote three chapters; and Lloyd Bradley’s Sounds Like London, published by Serpent’s Tail. I also edited the original Rough Guides to India and the USA, and guides to Elvis, Soul and the Blues.

My photographs have been published in my own books, and also in magazines, newspapers and elsewhere.
