Stasia Stockwell, Managing Editor at Trails Mag, is looking for pitches:
We’re looking for backpacking food pitches! Alignment with our threads (“efficiency” and “connection”) is great, but not critical. We need recipes as well as stories: Think a profile of a backcountry chef or a review of a unique piece of camp kitchen gear. Email stasia@trailsmag.net!
Also, we're holding a "How to Pitch Trails Mag" info session to share about what we're looking for, how we prefer to be pitched, and lots of thoughts on what makes the ideal Trails Mag story. Plus questions! Feb 18 at 11AM Pacific! Register at trailsmag.net/contribute!
