Pitches wanted (adventure) (WORLDWIDE) | ~$225 to $505 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SIDETRACKED MAGAZINE 

Deadline: 30 October 2022

Alex Roddie, Editor at Sidetracked Magazine, is looking for pitches:

Just finished proofing Sidetracked Magazine Volume 25. This is an amazing issue.

We are considering pitches for Volume 26, so it's a good time to approach us! We publish personal stories of adventure, accompanied by top-quality photography. All the info you need here: https://www.sidetracked.com/contribution-guidelines/

Rates between roughly £200 and £450 (this encompasses everything from short 5-600-word Single Moments to 2,000-word features).

We will be sifting through pitches over the next 2-3 weeks. We'll be looking to finalise the lineup for 26 by the end of November at the latest.

WHAT KIND OF PROPOSAL IS SIDETRACKED LOOKING FOR?

We continue to receive stories from all corners of the world and from all sorts of people. It’s what makes the adventure community so amazing. Keep them coming! If you have a story, or have heard of an amazing journey or adventure that you feel isn’t getting the exposure it deserves, then please get in touch. We want to make sure people are inspired. And you might just have what we need! We are looking for stories which have a provocative theme or angle – a fresh take on the world of adventure; interesting people doing interesting things. Our stories must have something special and emotional to captivate our readers – they are not trip reports or destination reviews. They need to be more than that.

Please email your proposal or idea to submissions@sidetracked.com

Open to international writers? Sure is!
