The print magazine is published bi-monthly. They are looking for richly reported stories that evoke a sense of place, inspire wanderlust, and ideally teach the reader something new about the world. Feature stories typically run from 1,500-2,500 words, though they are open to stories that are shorter or longer.
To pitch a travel gear story or review, send a two- to three- paragraph email to Lyndsey telling her why this brand/product should be covered by AFAR.
