To answer a question

A lot of people have been asking what kind of stories I'm looking for, the simplest answer is that I am looking for first person accounts of outdoor adventures. If you have a story that starts off my friends and I.....road our bikes across the US, went on a road trip and everything that could go wrong did, I went into the mountains for an overnight trip and I almost died, I canoed the length of the Mississippi for a summer. Things along those lines but not limited to just those things. What I am NOT looking for would be things like festival reviews or political pieces.
I am paying $200 per story with a minimum of 1000 words with 3-4 photos if possible. Hope that helps clear things up a bit.

Update on the magazine.

Since it's a new year I thought I should update everyone one whats going on with the magazine. I have decided to nix the idea of the print version and go to a digital version for the iPad and then moving into the other tablets.
I am still looking for general outdoor adventure and travel stories in the 1,500 to 3,000 word range with photos as well as stand alone photo stories for the the gallery section.
The fun part about doing this for the e-reader market is that I can combine the print version with what would have been on a website like video. And beyond just stories I would like to add some interviews and some how-to articles to the mix but DON'T want that type of stuff to overpower the rest of the magazine like so many of the other publications do.
People will get paid for any submissions that get published and if you have any ideas feel free to hit me up at editor@theadventurebum.com
