Write for Go Magazine
Hello intrepid travel writers! This is a call out for article pitches for issue 2 of Go, a travel magazine aimed at representing young people's real experiences of travel. We are seeking contributers aged between 16 and 30 to provide us with travel writing that is fresh, original and totally inspiring. You can download issue 1 from the Go mag website: www.gomag.com.au to see what we're all about.
What we need: articles & features
Please take a look at the sections in Go
that we will be commissioning. If you have a great idea and it will fit
into one of the following sections, then you have until 30 July 2007 to pitch us your ideas! If we like what we see, we'll commission you to write the full article, and discuss word length with you then.
Red
letter days - a real-life, personal travel story that embodies the
reason why we travel – to have amazing, unforgettable experiences. 400
words.
Features - there will be a variety of feature types and lengths. We're seeking content that falls under one of the following categories:
Places:
Stories that introduce readers to new places; places that are amazing,
happening, out-of-the-way, beautiful, off the beaten track... or
original takes on well-known destinations.
Issues: Stories that examine what issues are affecting, influencing or inspiring young people's travel experiences.
Services: Practical stories designed to help readers make the most of the challenges and opportunities they'll face while travelling
