Call for Submissions
Getting visas and crossing borders are two common experiences of international travel. But they’re underrepresented in travel writing. Maybe people think the more traditional “travel experiences” — rainforest ziplining or elephant trekking or getting smashed with the Aussies from the hostel — are more interesting to write about.
Trips is looking for ground-level guides on how to get travel visas and how to cross borders. If you don’t know what we mean by “ground level,” please read this: Travel Writing at Ground Level.
Some examples of successful guides include Lauren’s How to Get a Tourist Visa for Vietnam and Brandon Scott Gorell’s Border Crossing Guide: Bangkok to Siem Reap. Please note they don’t have to be in the first-person-humorously-masked-as-second-person like Brandon’s or mine above. What’s important is that they speak for YOU, not other travelers, the locals you see/interact with, or the places you transit through.
You can send submissions to hal[at]matadornetwork[dot]com. And make sure to check out thecontributor guidelines if you’re new to Matador.
(From the contributor guidelines: All authors receive $25 per article, payable via PayPal, upon publication. At present, this fee is non-negotiable.)
