Nevada Magazine is the official state tourism magazine. Since the publication first appeared in 1936, readers have relied on Nevada Magazine for informative and entertaining features on the Silver State. Readers are active travelers and Nevada enthusiasts.
QUERIES: We prefer a well-written query or outline with specific story elements before we receive the actual story. Write, e-mail, or call us if you have a story idea that you think might work. Nevada Magazine is produced only six times a year, so stories can take a long time to develop. Please be patient. A sample copy of the magazine is available by request.
See the “Developing Story Ideas” section for a description of the magazine’s topics. Direct queries to Editor Matthew B. Brown, preferably via e-mail to editor@nevadamagazine.com.
STORIES: Stories are accepted on speculation. Most stories range from 500 to 1,000 words. Payment — 40 to 50 cents per word — is on publication and varies with article length and quality. For Web stories, we pay a $200 flat rate. Nevada Magazine does not pay expenses (travel costs, etc.).
When your story is tentatively approved for publication, manuscripts should be sent via e-mail. Stories should include a suggested title and byline. Your name, address, phone number(s), and e-mail address should be at the top of the story. Electronic documents and hard-copy stories should be double-spaced.
E-mail stories to Editor Matthew B. Brown at editor@nevadamagazine.com. The editors reserve the right to edit all material.
For printed stories, the magazine buys first North American rights, as well as the right to publish, distribute, archive, and otherwise use the material in whole or in part in print, electronic, or any other media, and for promotional purposes related to Nevada Magazine’s publications and services.
DEVELOPING STORY IDEAS: When developing your ideas, please consider Nevada Magazine’s structure and format. The magazine’s format includes the following:
FEATURES
Any interesting Nevada story that rises to the level of a feature story. These are longer and more in-depth than stories that appear in our Departments. Due to budget constraints, these are usually written in-house.
DEPARTMENTS
Up Front - The latest Nevada news (200 words or less).
City Limits - Features destination stories for Nevada’s bigger cities, such as Reno and Las Vegas.
Wide Open - Features destination stories for Nevada’s rural towns and regions.
Cravings - Usually stories centered on food and drink, such as new or interesting restaurants, wine stores, or coffee houses, or chef spotlights. Including a recipe is a nice touch.

History - Celebrating the Silver State’s past.
Business - Interesting spotlights on Nevada’s influential industries.
Gaming - The latest innovations, events, and other intriguing stories in the arena.
