Pitches wanted (adventuring in the mountains) | ~$315 per guide

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: WIRED FOR ADVENTURE

Deadline: 2 April 2024

Annaliese Smith, Editor at Wired For Adventure, is looking for pitches:

I'm looking for pitches on practical guides to adventuring in the mountains for Wired For Adventure. £250 for 1200-1600 words plus images.

I'm after a guide on one specific aspect of mountain life. E.g., a guide to mountain refuge etiquette, how to winter camp, how to manage water on a long adventure (but not these, they've already been run!). And no listicles please.

It would be great if it's framed by your own experiences but it must be applicable to multiple locations or activities. Deadline for pitches is 2/04, and must be able to file by 22/04. Strong images are a must. Send pitches to anna@adventurize.co.uk.

PS: I reply to everyone eventually! It might take a while which I know is frustrating but I'd appreciate it if I didn't get too many follow up emails—you will hear from me either way.
