At long last we updated our AFAR pitch guidelines. Note: these apply to digital stories at the moment.
AFAR.com publishes stories about air travel, cruises, culture, diversity in travel, food and drink, hotels, outdoor adventure, and sustainability, all under the idea that travel is a force for good. We also publish book reviews, e-commerce roundups, essays, evergreen stories, features, op-eds, and news stories. Most of our pieces are commissioned based on our current needs, rather than accepted via cold pitch. Our rate starts at 50 cents a word and goes up based on the difficulty of reporting, and we aim to send payment within 30-45 days of an invoice, which can be filed once a piece has been published.
