Monday Markets (On Tuesday)

Thanks for your understanding. I don’t have much of an appetite but I’m out of bed and that’s a good thing. Best wishes to Jodee’s family for a speedy recovery. Here are your Monday Markets:

The Dollar Stretcher – I made my first sale to the Dollar Stretcher newsletter and website and it gave me the confidence to apply to other places. The editor buys multiple use rights for web and print as the article will usually appear in both. Please note, they only pay for print submissions so do indicate this in when you send in your piece. Payment is .10 cents per word. Their motto is "Living Better….For Less" and articles should reflect this.

How to Submit

- email to editor@stretcher.com. Please indicate hardcopy or online submission in the subject of the email. We need to know whether you expect payment for the article. Neither one of us would be happy if your work was used without payment!
- by mail to The Dollar Stretcher, PO Box 14160, Bradenton FL 34280.

Backpacker Magazine

From the Guidelines Page:

BACKPACKER is a proud sponsor of Leave No Trace (check out our book, Leave No Trace, available from The Mountaineers Press). All articles and photos that appear in the magazine must adhere to Leave No Trace’s ecologically friendly practices. Likewise, we do not promote motorized use in the wilderness or backcountry.

Our readers are knowledgeable and experienced backpackers, therefore we accept only authentic, well-researched, well-crafted stories (see the section on "Accuracy," below). We’re not interested in slavish imitations of stories we’ve already done. As always, you should carefully study several issues of the magazine before submitting a query. The best articles have style, depth, emotional impact, and take-away value for the reader.

Backpacker prefers queries to completed manuscripts. The preference is for emails with attachments over packages sent through the mail. Payment is .60 – $1.00 per word. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for response.

When submitting this type of article, please use only the most updated research, from primary sources. Our choice of articles depends on the other material we have published on the subject, how new the topic is to us, and how unique the presentation is. It helps if you include photos.
