Sidetracked Magazine wants adventure stories pitches


Sidetracked Magazine publishes stories of adventure, from anywhere in the world. Their guidelines say, “We are looking for stories which have a provocative theme or angle – a fresh take on the world of adventure; interesting people doing interesting things. Our stories must have something special and emotional to captivate our readers – they are not trip reports or destination reviews. They need to be more than that.” They had a callout (on 11th October) for their next issue; “We'll be considering pitches for Volume 26 soon, so it's a good time to approach us! We publish personal stories of adventure, accompanied by top-quality photography.” Rates are between “£200 and £450 (this encompasses everything from short 5-600-word Single Moments to 2,000-word features)”.
