How to Pitch: Islands

Serious about travel writing? So is Islands a 25-year-old pub that delivers in-depth, long-form writing on island cultures, writes Kristine Hansen. Pitch the Discoveries section (make sure you’ve got a good visual element), Island Life, Adventure and Q&A’s. Keep away from lodging-focused stories and most things non-tropical. Pitch via email, after perusing the archives to make sure you’re not sending in an old idea.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion's Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook's Morin Oluwole, and bitly's Tim Devane. Register now.
