Freelance writing, Montana Outdoors, pays $0.25-$0.30 per word

Montana Outdoors is a bimonthly magazine published by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. It advocates the conservation and sustainable use of Montana’s fish, wildlife, and parks.

Though published by a state agency, Montana Outdoors is not a house organ. For one thing, most of the magazine’s budget comes from subscribers, so we have an obligation to provide them with objective information. For another, many “official” government magazines are generally viewed by readers—the few who bother to read them—as biased and boring. And third, our readers are interested in various points of view—even those that challenge the orthodoxy of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. Our editorial bent is one of skepticism and curiosity, and we rely on a wide range of sources in our reporting.

Roughly 47,000 people subscribe to Montana Outdoors, about half of them from out of state. The magazine was first published in 1971.

Freelance assignments

Approximately half our features are written by freelancers. We pay 25 to 30 cents per word, as assigned, depending on the complexity of the article. That’s $500 to $600 for a 2,000-word feature. We pay on acceptance.

Montana Outdoors usually buys first North American serial rights and (for a small additional amount) the right to post to the magazine website and archives. Our kill fee for assigned manuscripts not accepted is about 30 percent of the full fee.

We prefer queries by e-mail to tdickson@mt.gov, but we also accept them by ordinary mail and fax. It helps to send clips or web links to previously published articles.

Our editorial lead time is one year.

We like journalism. Pitch us articles about Montana’s major conservation issues, important research projects, or management activities. We like you to take readers into the field. Show them the perspectives of various scientists, biologists, activists, officials, and others who know firsthand what is happening to Montana’s outdoors.

In your query on a particular issue or topic, we’d like to know:

* How this issue affects the lives of our readers (why they should care)
* How Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is involved (we favor queries that have some sort of link to our agency)
* The sources you might consult

Please summarize your idea, story line, and sources in two or three short paragraphs.

We are not interested in fiction, poetry, personal essays of self-discovery, tributes to friends or family member or “how-to” hunt or fish pieces.

Features and departments

Main Features: These are usually 2,000-word articles. Each issue contains four of five main features. These usually are journalistic inquiries into issues or activities related to the management of Montana’s fish, wildlife, or state parks.

Short Features: These 750- to 1,000-word articles may be a firsthand account of an event, a profile of a fascinating person, or some other topic that can be covered in two or three magazine pages.

Montana Outdoors Portrait: A 600-word summary of an interesting species.

Here in Montana: A 750- to 1,000-word essay that develops the character of a Montana place. This can be written in first-person, but the emphasis should be on the place, not the writer.

Out Here: These 600-word mini-features take readers into the field to experience some aspect of the outdoors or fish and wildlife management.

Freelance writing, eco-friendly living blog, pays $45 per month for 1 blog per week

We're seeking a literate, grammar conscious writer for our niche blog. This is an ongoing gig, and we're looking to have permanent, long-term relationships with our writers. We are an established site, only seeking to fill a spot due to the loss of a writer. We will use Copyscape to verify that content is original.

Overview:

This is a relatively small job, but the right person may very well be given other internet based tasks in the future. Proper grammar is a must. Our blog is in the 'Google News' feed, and a high level of professionalism with regard to content and grammar is a must, no exceptions!

The requirements are either 1 post per week with compensation of $45 per month, or 2 posts per week with compensation of $90 per month. We're still sorting out our production needs. Hence the 1 OR 2 posts a week at this time. Posts must be a minimum of 450 words. There are no admin responsibilities for the writer. We only require that the articles be created in a common text editor such as Word, and you only need email the files to our senior writer for publication to our blog. We do have some parameters to follow for the articles, but we give our writers a lot of leeway, and encourage them to write in their own voice.

In case you are interested in this writing position, (and you must be if you've read this far) our niche is bamboo textiles/eco-friendly living type topics. However, we're completely fine with most article topics as long as you can find a way to bridge some aspect of it with the whole "eco-friendly"/"green" thing.

I can give you more specifics after you've contacted me.

Please don't send a resume! I'd much rather you just introduce yourself, provide any writing examples that you may have, and just tell me why you'd like this position. Use your own discretion to communicate your personality, creativity, and writing style. I'd love to see what makes your writing different, unique, stand out, etc. Also, if you would like to post a link to some of your work, that would be preferable to a bunch of attachments of your various pieces.

Freelance writing, Biomes and Ecosystems: An Encyclopedia (Salem Press), payment: $25-$45 per article

Deadline: 31 October 2011

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new reference work about biomes and ecosystems to be published by Salem Press in 2013.

With approximately 600 articles in 4 volumes, Biomes and Ecosystems: An Encyclopedia is a comprehensive review of key biological and geographic classifications tied to the high-school and college curriculum. According to one expert, there is a slight difference between the two words, biome and ecosystem. An ecosystem is much smaller than a biome. Conversely, a biome can be thought of many similar ecosystems throughout the world grouped together. An ecosystem can be as large as the Sahara Desert, or as small as a puddle or vernal pool. Thus, the reference work will cover the broad scope of biomes and ecosystems around the world, from puddles on the street to coral reefs in Australia to rain forests in Brazil to the tundra in Siberia.

Each article will delve into the properties that make the subject a biome or ecosystem, and how those features work together. Especially targeted toward high-school students, this outstanding reference work is edited to make the content readily accessible as well to patrons of public, academic, and university libraries. Pedagogical elements include a Topic Finder, Chronology, Resource Guide, Glossary, Appendix, and thorough index. Presented in an A-to-Z format, Biomes and Ecosystems: An Encyclopedia is richly illustrated with photos, charts, and tables, all comprising an unprecedented and unique resource produced by Golson Media for Salem Press.

We are now making article assignments with a deadline of October 31, 2011.

Each article ranges from 600 to 3500 words and is signed by the contributor. The General Editor for the encyclopedia is Dr. Robert Warren Howarth, Cornell University, who will review all the articles for editorial content and academic consistency.

If you are interested in contributing to Biomes and Ecosystems: An Encyclopedia, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. Moreover, you can help ensure that accurate information and important points of view are credibly presented to students and library patrons.

Compensation is an honorarium payment of $25 up to 1000 words; $35 from 1001 to 2500 words; and $45 above 2501 words.

The list of available articles, style guidelines, and sample article are prepared and will be sent to you in response to your inquiry. Please then select which unassigned articles may best suit your interests and expertise.

If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference with Biomes and Ecosystems: An Encyclopedia, please contact me by the e-mail information below. Please provide a brief summary of your background in biology, ecology, and science topics.
