N – Wanderlust Call for Submissions. Theme: “Mountains or Mesas?”

March 1, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
$5
Mountains or Mesas? Which is your place of connection, up high, in the hills or down on the desert plains? Take us with you from one specific trip you remember clearly, something that changed you. 
We’re interested in your journeys, the dark underbelly, the compulsions, and the incredible moments of joy that split you open. Tell a story rooted in the experience of place and people.

We publish a wide range of styles of essays focused on personal experiences of a place and the people encountered- from both the locals and visitors’ perspectives. We have writers from all over the world contributing to the journal, and would like to read and hopefully publish yours too. Conversational, respectful and inspiring tones.

Be specific, be generous, be kind. Be published.

Please see our general guidelines for formatting requirements. Please let us know where you came across our call for submissions, it helps. Thanks.

  • ALL SUBMISSIONS ARE READ BLIND. If your word document has your name or info on it, it will be rejected.
  • WORD COUNT IS 1000–1500 MAX. Submit in Word doc. Double spaced. No extra line breaks or spaces between paragraphs. With a title of the piece on each document. Times New Roman. 12 p.

Please contact us if you have any questions that can’t be answered using the contact page below. Unpublished writers are encouraged to send in their work; just make it your best, well written, and evocative. This journal aims to give a voice to unpublished and accomplished writers and those with great travel experiences.
Wanderlust-Journal acquires publication rights, but you, the writer, still own your work. This means that we hold the publication rights for 30 days after your work is posted online. After 30 days, you are free to publish and submit your work elsewhere. We kindly ask for acknowledgment for subsequent reprints of your work.

PAYMENT

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to provide payment for publication in Wanderlust-Journal. We have no funding, grants, subscriptions, advertisements, or memberships. The submission fees only cover the Submittable website and our own. We are volunteers: the readers, editors, publishers. Our time is unpaid.
