Blog submission guidelines

01

Specificity and detail
Fresh perspectives, diversity
Different mediums: poetry, prose, first-person, fiction
Pieces that make us think differently about our outdoor culture—places, activities, practices, heritage, environment, etc.

Some constraints: please try to work between 250 and 2500 words. We ask for 3-10 high-resolution images to accompany all pieces, which we may edit lightly prior to publishing. A short author bio is also included, with links to portfolio sites and/or social media pages. 

For a spotlight: If you’d prefer to have yourself, your nonprofit, your work, or another initiative highlighted and/or written up by our editorial team at She Explores, we can work with you to tell your story.
