Desert Rambler is a journal for all those drawn to the freedom and beauty of the American deserts; explorers, recreationalists,
prospectors, cowboys and Indians, artists and ascetics.
Submissions
We are looking for 1500-4000 word feature articles (with photos, please). Suggested topics:
People-Profiles and/or interviews of writers, artists, researchers, prospectors or celebrities with a connection to the desert.
History-The desert’s past. Includes prehistory as well. Archaeology, tribal history, ranches, legends and lore, lost treasure, past
desert explorers. Maps are appreciated.
Adventures-Exploring national parks, “forests” and monuments, recreation areas, state parks, wilderness, ruins, mineral fields,
ghost towns, backroads, wagon routes, trails and lost highways. If you want to know what specific stories we might be looking
for, drop us a line w/ your location and we'll surely find something in your area. Again, maps are always appreciated.
Events-Burning Man, the Bonneville Speed Trials, Desert Rallies, Indian Pow-Wows, etc.
We are looking for 600-2000 word reviews of: desert homes, books and movies. We also need 1000-2500 word "sojourns."
Examples: a specific trail in Arches or Bryce Canyon, a road or highway, a ghost town or the caves of Snow Canyon.
Submissions to our "Works for me" department should also run 600-1200 words. "Works for me" articles are either 1) reviews of
great products, which don't have to be new or even necessarily in production or 2) your own personal system for surviving in the
desert.
In the future, we will be adding "wildlife" and "treasure hunting" departments.
We accept videos on any of the above features, reviews, sojourns and "works for me."
We value notifications of upcoming events with a desert connection; rallies, concerts, exhibitions, lectures and festivals. Send
us quotes about the desert and we'll add them to our quotes section!
Desert Rambler posts photographic essays on its Flickr link.
Compensation: $35 - $50 for features, $15 - $25 for all other articles/videos, which is what we can afford to pay as a start-up. Plus
exposure of your writing, photographs or art to thousands of desert enthusiasts.
