Knight also received a runner-up prize for a story in the New York Times, while Leffel was a runner-up in the Travel Guide category for his book, “Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune.”

“It is exciting to receive this kind of recognition just as we celebrate our one-year anniversary,” says Tim Leffel, editor of Perceptive Travel. “In November a feature of ours from Rolf Potts appeared in the ‘Best American Travel Writing 2006′ anthology. Winning Grand Prizes from NATJA for two additional stories is a great honor. I’m very proud to be associated with the talented book authors that have written for us over the past year.”

The oft-quoted adage says we write best about that which we love the most. I think I’ll continue to write about my daughter.”
