"My Idahome" Essay

That's Awesome! We have the utmost respect for writers.

As the publisher and author or co-author of several books, we know how challenging this is. At Seasons of the 208 we love outdoor stories the most. If it happened in Idaho, we'd love to hear about it. We're looking for interesting stories to feature as well as poetry for our "Trail Notes" on the back cover. While our feature stories need to be non-fiction, we are also open to including one fiction piece per issue as long as it is written about Idaho. We require first rights to publication and no reprinting of the same basic content in other publications or online for 1 year.

For Issue 1 we have a tiered payment structure with three payment levels: 22 cents per word, 38 cents per word and 55 cents per word. Your payment depends on your level of writing expertise.  All stories will go through our editing process. Our editor determines what level of payment you will receive, based on how much editing needs done to your piece.

We reserve the right to edit for clarity, punctuation, grammar and length.

Payment structure is subject to change between issues.

If your story is selected for publication, you are welcome to submit images to accompany your story, but if they are deemed to be not of the standard we require for our publication, we will source images through our photographer database.

We are also looking for one poem per issue, one "My Idahome" essay, and one editorial piece.

 

We will not publish extremely controversial subjects, politics or religion.

Also, please do not submit any AI generated story content.​

If you are selected to write for us, you will be assigned a word count appropriate to each piece. Please adhere to this amount or we will need to cut portions of your writing.
