Your well-written query should present a clear, original and provocative story angle, not merely a topic or idea, and should reflect your thorough knowledge of the magazine’s content, editorial style and tone. When submitting a query, identify which department your story would be best suited for.
Editorial Submissions
Features (2000 to 3000 words)
Our in-depth features cover a gamut of topics, including personality profiles, top outdoor adventure destinations, race profiles/reports and issues in our sport, and generally include a short sidebar or two.
Long Departments (1000 to 1200 words)
Destination Showcase—stories are destination travel stories, including where to run, ride, hike, camp, climate, local services and community, amenities and events relevant to our readers.
Faces—is a human interest section highlighting interesting characters in the outdoor world, from celebrities to housewives, elite runners to back-of-the-packers; it’s their story that determines who makes a good subject.
Adventures—first-person narratives of unique running, cycling or outdoor-related journeys or wild undertakings on the trails
Articles should be supported with high quality photography.
