Write for us

Genuine Travel Stories welcomes pitches that make a place newly legible through a precise question, an observed detail, or a useful way to shape a journey. Send proposals through the Contact page.

What we welcome

We are interested in evergreen travel stories about places, local life, travel history, journey planning, and the objects or memories people carry home. A strong piece can explain one small feature of a place or compare distinct ways of approaching a day. We value clear scope, humane curiosity, and writing that gives readers something to notice or consider.

Make the pitch specific

Tell us the proposed angle, why it matters to a curious traveller, what the piece would cover, and how it differs from familiar destination advice. Include a brief outline and a note about any sources, images, or firsthand material you propose to use. Do not send a finished article unless invited.

Standards and submission

Contributions should be original, accurately presented, respectful of the people and places discussed, and free of undisclosed commercial promotion. Avoid unsupported claims and broad claims based on a single example. Send your proposal through the Contact page and select the editorial option; a submission is not a promise of publication.
