HI Canada Magazine
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
We’re looking for travel stories that go beyond a diary entry and give our readers the inspiration to go explore the world. We love the kind of stories that reveal a little bit about you and where you’ve been at the same time. Great travel stories do more than just recap where you went and what you did, they get into some reflection on what it all means.
We’re especially interested in those elements of hostelling and budget travel that make travel so great — meeting people, getting outside of your comfort zone, learning something about yourself or how the world works, making lifelong memories or just figuring out how to pack a backpack. We’re always on the lookout for humour and brilliant insight!
Spoilers, please!
Send us a note with a detailed pitch — tell us what your story is about, what readers can take away from it, what kind of photos or video you can provide and a bit about you and where else your work has appeared (including links). And we’re not like the rest of the internet: we love spoilers! Tell us what happens or what the takeaway is at the crux of your story – without that it’s hard for our editors to get a sense of how great your story might be.
Unfortunately, we can’t accept stories that have appeared elsewhere online or in print. If you have an idea that may come from a trip you haven’t taken yet, feel free to let us know but we won’t commission a story until the trip is complete and you have a better idea of what you can provide.
Payment varies but does exist. While we strive to respond to everyone, if you don’t hear from us in two weeks, feel free to pitch your story idea elsewhere or send us another idea.
Nous acceptons aussi les propositions en français! Consulte les consignes éditoriales en français.
