This travel
publication’s new pitch guide, for both print and digital, is now live,
according to a Tweet from their editorial director. Their guidelines say, “We
are currently redesigning the magazine, around editorial values that include
inclusivity, optimism, radical empathy, curiosity, and joy.
AFAR Magazine publishes a
range of reported features, personal essays, opinion pieces, photo essays,
illustrated features, short fiction, poetry, and shorter middle-of-book pieces.
Instead of more traditional aspirational lifestyle travel stories, we tell the
stories of a place and the people who live there.” And for the digital
magazine, “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.” See their extensive pitch guide for details. Rates start at $1/word for
print and $0.50/word for the digital magazine. Details here (Tweet) and here (pitch guide).
