Freelance writing, Adventure Kayak Magazine, pays up to $0.20 per word
Adventure Kayak celebrates all the adventures of kayak touring, from a tour through the local bay to an arctic expedition to all the diversity in between. Adventure Kayak’s content has an international scope. Our readers range from rank beginners to experts paddlers who share the desire to learn, explore and experience the paddling world.
Adventure Kayak publishes three issues annually, in February (Spring), May (Early Summer) and August (Summer/Fall). We do most of our editorial scheduling in September for the upcoming year, but we accept submissions at any time. We welcome your contributions to Adventure Kayak. We’re open to ideas—well-written epics, cultural adventure, environmental dilemmas, personality profiles on important paddlers either historic or contemporary, humor, fiction and more. We are always in the market for articles that have depth, emotional impact and take-away value for the reader, complemented by striking photos.
The best way to assess our interest in your idea is to send us a brief summary of your idea—a query.
Submitting a Query
For anything other than creative non-fiction essays or fiction, we would rather read queries than completed manuscripts. Queries should present a clear and specific idea, not merely a general topic, and should reflect familiarity with the magazine’s content and tone.
We will rarely consider a story without good photos, and we will occasionally buy a story based on photos alone. So please tell us how we can get professional-quality, high-resolution digital images to accompany your article. Better yet, email us a few low-resolution preview images, or mail us a CD of high-res images that we can keep. See photography guidelines for more details.
Please send queries by email to the address below. We do not accept queries over the phone. We will reply to your query within eight weeks if we are interested in your idea. We will not return unsolicited manuscripts or photos unless you include an SASE or return courier account number. Writers submitting story ideas should be aware that the editors at Adventure Kayak may already have assigned or be working on a similar story.
Before you query, carefully study several issues of Adventure Kayak so you can tell us how and where your idea will fit into the magazine.
Contents
WATERLINES
Waterlines is our reader essay column. A place to share your creative writing flare—essays, fiction, short stories and humor are all encouraged. 500 words max.
FLOTSAM & JETSAM
We are always looking for stories to fill the magazine’s introductory section. Flotsam & Jetsam includes short, timely articles about kayaking personalities, safety, trends, places, gear, events, expeditions and more. This is the best place to submit your first story. 350–450 words plus supporting photos.
ROCK THE BOAT
This is an op ed–type essay (similar to what you might find next to the editorial page in newspapers) poking fun at the paddling world’s quirks or taking a hard look at more serious issues. Stir the pot. Take a stand. Tell it like it is. Your ideas should be organized and well developed in essay form, with a clearly stated point. Up to 550 words.
KAYAKER’S JOURNAL
This is our tech section with skills, techniques and reviews. We’re looking for advice about kayaking and general outdoor skills that’s concise, accurate, easy to understand and well illustrated. Queries for how-to articles may include a plan to demonstrate the skill through photos or illustrations using minimal text. This section also includes gear and boat reviews. 300-500 words plus supporting illustrations/photos.
FEATURES
Our feature articles are up to 2,000 words in length and typically include professional-quality photos. Features are our most competitive category. When pitching a feature, consider if your story could be modified to fit another department of the magazine. Also consider whether you have personality profiles, tips, recipes, news or other short pieces to include as sidebars. Features include:
How-To Features: We regularly run how-to features in a “starter kit” format covering specific topics in depth, such as kayak surfing, paddling with kids, or weekend trips. How-to features are broken up into text boxes and sidebars covering a variety of topics such as background, tips, gear, destinations, top 10 lists, etc.
Theme Features: These features package short stories and sidebars under original themes: gear; destinations; heroes; survival; love; urban paddling...insert your idea here.
Journalistic Features: This field is wide open to any story that’s related to kayak touring. Thoroughly researched and well-written articles and essays or photo essays about the kayaking environment, people, culture, events, gear, industry topics and more can be spun into fun and informative features in a reportorial style.
Adventure Travel and Destination Features: Adventure writing isn’t about just any trip. It tells about an adventure—that is, an original and exciting experience, an exceptional place or an exceptional experience in a familiar place. Good adventure travel writing grips the reader with the feeling of being there and offers something—exceptional humor, a life lesson, a new outlook or deeper understanding. Likewise, destination- focused pieces go beyond a mere description of a place to inspire, entertain or inform. Destination stories have a fresh angle deepened by background information and interviews with local characters.
Text Submission Guidelines
If we accept your query, please submit your completed work according to these guidelines: • Include your name, article title and word count on the first page of your submission.
• Carefully check all facts and figures and spellings (names, places, scientific terms) for accuracy and be prepared to provide us with your research material and contact information for all sources.
• Include a concise, 25-word biography to be published at our discretion. • Please save documents in Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) and send as an email attachment—
do not paste it into the body of an email message.
• Be sure to include your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address with all submissions. We will make a reasonable effort to ensure the safe return of slides, negatives and other materials that you loan to us; however, contributors are responsible for insuring these materials against loss or damage.
Terms and Payment
We expect first North American print rights to your work. Adventure Kayak requires that you inform us if your submission, or any portion or concept of your submission, has been previously published or is being considered for publication elsewhere. We also require that you inform us as to any flights, accommodations, meals, etc. that were given to you free of charge as part of a familiarization or press trip.
We pay contributors a pre-negotiated rate of up to $0.20 per word depending on length, content and quality. Payment is within 45 days following the release date of the issue in which the material appears. We buy first North American print rights as well as the right to reproduce the original publication by any means or technology for our promotional purposes including indefinite publication on the Internet as part of our online edition.

They are written in a familiar, casual style, with total artistic freedom, forgiving some spelling, punctuation and grammar. Not technical. No complicated concepts, formulas or research.

Specialty vertical market of foreign companies looking to fine tune their advertising, marketing, packaging and technical writings from the sometimes choppy, rough and staggered translations into a clean flowing, culturally adapted presentation. Bilingual abilities are not required for most project assignments since the bulk of the translation has already been completed and fine tuning, rewriting is the typical assignment.

Freelance writing, WestJet's up! Magazine, pays $150-$600 per article (North America/ Carribean)
WestJet’s inflight magazine, up!, is all about travel. The sort that grips, excites, entertains and illuminates its readers about the world. Well, WestJet’s world anyway, which has prongs into 71 hubs in North America and the Caribbean. up! offers an outlet for compelling journalism that is ambitious, revelatory, inspirational—even transformative. Forty per cent of our readers are aged 35 to 54 years old, 48 per cent are 55 and older with a slight tilt towards females. On WestJet’s domestic routes, almost half its flyers are business travellers, 27 per cent earn between $80,000 and $120,000 annually and 23 per cent earn more than $120,000 a year.
What we’re looking for: Short, idea-rich editorial suggestions for our many departments and longer features (1,200-1,500 words) that reveal emerging trends—from cool architectural hotel designs to new surfer subcultures—to personal quests that were life-changing. up! is not a magazine about a chronological train journey or how to roll socks in a suitcase. Tell us something we’ve never heard before, in a way we’ve never seen before. We want copy that reflects the writer’s passion, engagement and ability to tell a fresh story, vividly, accurately and tightly. We like ideas, dialogue, convincing details and local intelligence.
Please note that all queries should focus on WestJet destinations (and areas within a three-hour driving distance).
Pitching for Print
We advise that you target your query letter towards a particular magazine section and city, but the editors have the final say as to where and when any commissioned work runs. The magazine consists of the following sections and departments.
Departments
Scene
A poetic narrative about a specific time, place, setting or moment that relates to an amazing landscape, cultural splendour or perennial regional event in a timely way. (125 – 150 words/payment varies)
News
The latest travel, tourism and culture news and charticles from WestJet cities, in brief. Please consider sourcing an image to accompany your piece. Think openings, deals, regional products and services, travel trends, timely number crunching, etc. (50 – 250 words each/varies)
Fauna
A textbook-style profile of a specific, visible group or subculture in a WestJet city, treated as a field guide entry. A brief 75-word intro is followed by descriptive blurbs under 4 or 5 of the following headings: BEHAVIOUR, PHYSICAL TRAITS, DIET, SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES, BAITING STRATEGY. (175 – 200 words/$150)
Nightlife
A plugged-in local’s favourite spot to drink (and eat, if applicable) and be merry. The piece consists of an intro blurb which profiles both the bar and the plugged-in local (using quotes from the local about why they’ve chosen the place that they have), as well as descriptive quotes from the local under the following headings: DOOR, DRESS, DÉCOR, DRINK, DISH. (300 words/$250)
Details
An annotated, data-focused profile of a new and unique tourist attraction, aiming to explain the logistics behind constructing, designing or maintaining it. (125 word intro and four to six 75-word annotation blurbs/$250 and up)
Souvenirs
The best mementoes from and around a WestJet city. This section is not really gear reviews, but a themed selection of souvenirs (from a variety of local retailers) that speak to the spirit of a place. Each product blurb shouldn’t exceed 30-35 words plus have all contact info for each item. As well, there needs to be a short blurb under the heading “Shop Here,” which profiles a store, market or shopping opportunity that works well within the theme. (4 – 6 items; 35 words each, plus a 100 word intro explaining the theme and a 100 word “Shop Here”/$250)
Gear
The latest and greatest in travel goodies. The overall theme and product descriptions should be lumped into cohesive one- or two-sentence blurbs that discuss benefits, peculiarities, features, etc. Sources for acquiring items for a photo shoot must be provided by the writer (upon delivery of a draft). Please note that gear released in three months prior to press time will be most applicable. (5 – 7 items with prices and websites, 30 words each; 75 word intro/$300)
My Favourite Place
A column wherein a prominent personality waxes nostalgic about the best trip they’ve ever taken or the place they’ve been to. Priority should be given to experiences in WestJet cities. (150 – 200 word intro, 400 quoted words/$250)
Business Class
A brief and timely profile of an interesting business figure that offers insight into their industry and their successes. Preference will be given to tourist-oriented businesses. A standard sidebar aims to capture the person’s travelling and occupational essentials—clothing, gear, personal items, influential books, ubiquitous tools of the trade, etc—and will be used to provide the visual element of these pieces. Writers should be prepared to help arrange timing for a photo shoot as part of the assignment. (600 words, plus up to ten essential items explained in short, quoted blurbs/$500)
Q&A
A quick interview with a prominent person in a WestJet town or city. A 150- to 200-word intro is followed by about 5-10 questions and a short sidebar profiling the subject’s most recent achievement or artistic output. Candidates should be active in pop culture or provide a unique window into a topic of general public interest (artisans, artists, athletes, politicians, etc.), and the Q&A portion should include an element of travel culture or travel tips. (150 word intro, 750 – 800 word Q&A, 100 word sidebar/$500)
Good ’Hoods
Must-see neighbourhoods and streets in WestJet cities, no matter how obscure and out of the way. With a focus on history, community vibe, scenery and/or culture, the piece describes colourful characters, interesting architecture, free attractions, nightlife, restaurants and retail secrets. (450 words plus 15 business names, addresses/$400)
Day Tripper
A collection of great activities, attractions and untapped adventures within three-hours driving distance of a WestJet destination. The best pitches are creative and work in tandem with a dramatic or somewhat elaborate approach to art/layout, but also useful as an itinerary for someone on the ground with a copy of the story (the column will likely be accompanied by a map and photography). Focus should be “off the beaten path” whenever possible. (600 – 1,000 words/payment varies)
Eat + Drink
An exploration of hot regional cuisine, libations or tips on a great local restaurant(s) or food-related innovations. (400 – 800 words, plus sidebar/$350 and up)
Film or Music
A short review/quiz/game/charticle related to a timely album, performance or film/television production, or an artist/director who’s from, traveling through, working in or somehow connected to a WestJet destination. (150 – 250 words/payment varies)
Books
A short review of an innovative new publication which challenges readers to get out and follow in the author’s footsteps—as opposed to just sitting down and reading about the author’s experience. Snazzy guidebooks, creative landscape chronicles and quirky cultural profiles that relate specifically to WestJet destinations are preferred. (150 words/payment varies)
Hotels
A head-to-head comparison of a high-end ($200-plus) and a low-end hotel (under $200). The properties must be intriguing, news-making hotels, inns and guesthouses, and pieces should focus on their history, owners and inspiration. Independent, funky, boutique hotels will be given preference. There needs to be a significant difference in room price between the two properties compared. Also included is a sidebar of three other hotel properties in the same city as the previous two. Pricing is not needed, instead a brief description accompanied by its full contact information. (150 words each/$150 per review)
Value Guide
A four to five page department that looks at a destination through the lens of value. This service piece wraps around the 24 Hours for $24 double-page spread that relies on local intelligence (people on the ground) to deliver cheap eats and cultural activities that span 24 hours and never exceed the $24 budget. The department also includes a mini-events guide, other bargains and tips the writer ferrets out when there. ($600 – $800, depending on length)
Sights Unseen
This is a 600-word report on some aspect of the travel industry that holiday-makers don’t see at check-in. It might be a behind-the-scenes look at inflight food or the journey a piece of baggage endures when it’s lost for five days.
By the Seat of My Pants
If you can write a witty or jaw-droppingly funny first-person travel tale, up! wants to hear from you. Sweep, colour, drama, scene, conflict and a distinctive voice is key for this section. Your piece should leave readers grinning; they should feel privileged to have read your work. (600-700 words, $600)
Family Matters
This 700-word feature targets families—from those with toddlers to teens. Family-friendly adventures, round-ups, trends and issues that impact families-on-the-go are all fair game. ($450 and up)
Features
We are always on the hunt for compelling storytelling that offers a narrative arc, conflict, people and a strong sense of place.
