Freelance Writers (Pitches)

The Trails magazine is for “people who sleep in the dirt.”

Job: Pitch/write a piece for the magazine. The focus of Trails is on backpacking and other human/naturally-powered means of sleeping outdoors: bikepacking, canoe camping, even things like rafting or mountaineering are fair game (feel free to be creative with those criteria—they covered “skatepacking” in Issue One).

Requirements: The easiest way to get a sense of the magazine is to read it and they encourage you to start there. But in addition to that, read the guidelines below.

Rates: A minimum of $0.50/word that climbs based on the story and your experience.
