Featured Stories: Featured stories should be non-fiction writing about travel, adventure, science, the environment, and outdoor sports that is written from a first person perspective with a heavy emphasis on the personal and emotional experience. Featured stories on LetsBeWild.com are all about articulating the writer’s unique passion for the world around them. Writing should be original and unique to Let’sBeWild. Stories should be a minimum of 500 words – we don’t think a great adventure tale is defined by the word-count, but 500 words is usually a good starting length. There is no upper ceiling, although typically most stories are between 1000-3500 words. Longer stories may be split into a multi part series.
500+ words | Photos: 5+ Submit as attachments or as compressed .zip file | Please submit text files in .odt, .doc, or .txt format or send as plain text in an email.
Interviews: Interesting and informative question and answer sessions with the big names everyone knows and the little names everyone should of the outdoor world. Interviews should be accompanied by relevant photos of the subject.
Reviews: Reviews about outdoor gear, books, and any items that might be of interest to the outdoor adventurer and explorer. We feel that reviews should be more than just factual press releases. Let’sBeWild is all about passion and inspiring people to live their outdoor lives to the fullest – society teaches us to consume, consume, consume everything in sight, but Let’sBeWild is only interested in sharing things with people that are actually worthwhile and will enhance the outdoor experience.
