Travel Writers needed at Hidden Compass

Hidden Compass is an online travel magazine that publishes quarterly.  They are currently looking for powerful stories that will immerse readers in the experience or compelling narratives.   They also have several other submissions categories listed below, most stories should be 800 to 1,500 words:  

• Quest Stories: Stories of a people in search of something, even when he or she is unaware of that search. The destination must play a large role in the character’s search or discovery. May be written in first or third person.
• Portraits of Interesting People and the Culture and Places they live in.
• Human and Nature: Stories that investigate how the relationship between humankind and the planet manifests itself in a particular place. In these stories, Nature becomes another character rather than a mere setting.
• Chasing Demons: Stories that delve into the dark and difficult aspects of a place, even when the darkness exists only in the narrator. They can be investigative pieces, historical exposés, or tales of narrators immersed in danger.
• Time Travel: Stories that play with time to explore the past, present, and future of a place. These stories can be forward or backward looking; ideally, they will be both.
• Feature Story: Longer-form storytelling, including in any of the above departments, that needs 2,000 – 3,000 words to flourish.
• Feature Photo-Essay: Stories told through the arc of photographs and accompanying text. (500-1000 words)

Hidden Compass only publishes first works (new stories and photos).  They pay on average $200-$300 per submission.  They also pay for photos.  For Submission Guidelines click HERE.
