Bugle Magazine
PAY: $.20/word
We have experienced a growing interest in our Women in the Outdoors column, from women and men, since its inception in 1995. Letters show us that readers enjoy stories and essays about women’s experiences afield. So we are always on the hunt for new tales and new voices. We are looking for personal essays and stories, 1,000 to 3,000 words in length, concerning elk, hunting, wildlife encounters, conservation and land-use issues. We are especially interested in thought-provoking stories and essays: personal narratives that evoke emotion and suggest connections to larger themes or ask (or attempt to answer) questions that touch the human heart.

Field and Stream
PAY: $100 - $1000+
Writers are encouraged to submit queries on article ideas. These should be no more than a page, and should include a summary of the idea, including the angle you will hang the story on, and a sense of what makes this piece different from all others on the same or a similar subject. Many queries are turned down because we have no idea what the writer is getting at. Be sure that your letter is absolutely clear. We've found that if you can't sum up the point of the article in a sentence or two, the article doesn't have a point. Pieces that depend on writing style, such as humor, mood, and nostalgia or essays often can't be queried and may be submitted in manuscript form. The same is true of short tips. All submissions to FIELD & STREAM are on an on-spec basis.
