Alex Heard, Editorial Director of Outside Magazine, is looking for pitches:

Greetings: I'm looking for non-white writer (male or female) who has gone through the experience of moving to a mountain town specifically to pursue a passion for the kinds of adventure sports we cover at Outside Magazine. If that describes you or someone you know, lemme hear.

Rates: There are too many factors involved to summarize our rates. Basically: we're a national magazine and we pay competitive rates.

Deadline: End of this month would be soon enough.

Open to international writers? Yes, always.
