WRITER'S
GUIDELINES
Welcome to
Northeast Explorer, the magazine and website dedicated
to covering the activities, people, sports and news of the
Northeast outdoors. All of our stories focus on the
Northeast. To that end, we look for articles on outdoor
sports and adventure travel, news on environmental issues
and outdoor recreation, events, and profiles of outdoor
characters. To get an idea for our subject matter, examine
the stories we run and study our links and events sections.
We want stories that are descriptive, thoroughly reported
and (when appropriate) feature a strong, narrative voice.
Our articles run anywhere from 500 to 2,500 words.
Even if you are a writer currently without any story ideas
for the site, feel free to contact us anyway as we are
looking for writers willing to take on assignments. When
contacting us, please include any applicable writing
samples.
To submit a query or story, e-mail us at
editors@northeastexplorer.com. Queries should not be
a mere topic or idea, but rather present a clear,
provocative thesis. When sending a query, please include two
or three writing samples. We respond to writers within eight
weeks. We pay $25 per story. When we agree to publish
a story, we may feature it in our magazine and on our
website. Afterwards, the story will be available in our
archives. Writers retain all other rights to their stories. |
