Do you have a story to share with The Trek? Whether it’s a tale from the trail, a news tip, or advice for future thru-hikers, we want to hear it! Click the handy button below to submit your story for a chance to be featured in a guest post on The Trek.
Guidelines
To have the best chance of being accepted, your story should be:
- Clearly related to long-distance hiking
- Lightly edited for spelling, grammar, and syntax (our editors will work with you on this as well, but avoiding glaring typos in the initial submission is always advisable)
- 500 – 1500 words long (shorter or longer submissions can be accepted in some cases, for instance if the submission is a poem or news tip)
Other than that? Creative license, go nuts. If your submission is a fit for The Trek, someone from our editorial team will follow up with you to discuss next steps before publication.
