Guidelines for Travel Narratives
Gentle Moos from Round the World! Take us somewhere. Dispatches, reflections, and road notes from anywhere on Earth.
Clichés are ungracious hosts who refuse to make you banana pancakes for breakfast. You’re better off without them, seriously. You deserve so much better. So please do not use them, unless you’re doing so intentionally to somehow comment on the cliché itself.
Original works only. Exclusive submissions strongly preferred (and acted on first). Simultaneous submissions will be reviewed only after all exclusive submissions have been reviewed. Only works sent in via the online submission form will be considered.
Length and Quality
Travelogs can be from 1000 to 2000 words long. Looking for personal narratives of travel to anywhere on Earth (without or outside of the United States) that reflect gently on place, people, observations of what you see, eat, smell, hear. Consider the current travelogs as a guide (but be much better than those!).
Video Submissions
Try to keep videos no longer than about 10 minutes. Longer pieces will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If your video link is password-protected, you can include the password in the “Notes to Editor field” of the form.
Other Stuff
I will only post material sent from contributors with a working e-mail address. I will not include your email address or any other direct contact information but will gladly forward to you any Feedback coming in via the “Tell Us What You Think” form.
