Game Day Guide Information

Game Day Guide Publishing is a start-up company with a purpose and focus different from any other publishing company. 1) We love college towns.... their energy, creativity, restaurants, nightlife, shopping and outdoor activities. We want to promote the best of every college town, and to provide fans and tourists the information to make informed choices and have more fun. 2) We love writing about cities and towns that have no other guides written about them. We understand that almost every athletic conference has some universities in larger cities with existing guides, but every conference also has smaller cities and towns that have never been featured. Those are the places that get us excited.... although we offer a new slant on the larger cities as well. 3) We are committed to the family and locally owned businesses that make each college town unique and deserving of attention. This is a publishing company with an agenda that goes beyond marketing books. We want to provide an itty-bitty voice for the guys who don't have multi-million dollar advertising budgets. You've heard from Applebee's, IHOP, Outback, Chili's, McDonald's, Burger King, Hardee's, etc. In our books, you'll hear about the independents. You'll get info on the otherwise invisible "off the beaten path" restaurants and clubs, as well as the upscale hopping places that make each town come alive. You know what to expect in a mall, so Game Day Guide will tell you about the one-of-a-kind shops, whether near campus or downtown. 3) We don't rank or rate with "stars." Instead, we try to provide enough data that you can make your own informed decision. And we don't have advertising. If a place is included it's because something about it is appealing, engaging or fun. 4) We tell you about all the free (or inexpensive) stuff to do as well. We cover museums, galleries, parks, trails, golf, tennis and and other diversions. We cover bars, clubs and music venues. We may even say what places have cheap beer. This is real guide for real people, written in a personal voice with a touch of attitude.
