At AAA's Western-states mag with a huge circulation, the freelance opportunities are as open as the road, writes Amelia McDonell-Parry in the update of this HTP. "On the Road" needs ideas for regular items such as "Trailblazer", "Opening", "Round Up", and "How To." "Traiblazer" (formerly known as "Smart Quotes") is an interview with a travel-related personality. Other pitchable columns in this section include "Great Drives" (formerly "Boulevards") which is a profile of a famous road or route, such as Lombard Street in San Francisco, or Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles. Make sure your pitches don't cover destinations that have been recently featured, and make sure your pitches are well-honed. Pitch snail mail.
