How to Contribute to the Mid-Atlantic Ride Journal
Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Mid-Atlantic Ride Journal.
We’re always looking for rider writers, photographers and illustrators who have a story to share; be it an epic adventure on one of our regional destinations, a personal journey of self-discovery or an interesting story to tell.
We hope the stories you share on a bike or about a bike help motivate and inspire others to hit the trail, path or road and discover the same joy and love of cycling we have in common.
If you want to contribute, but are unsure what to write about here are a few suggestions.
Where you ride, what is special about your favorite regional cycling destination?
What do you ride? What is special about your chosen cycling discipline?
Is there a yearly pilgrimage you make to a destination beyond our region? WHat’s special about it?
Is there a personal moment that defines why you ride?
Is there a regional event that you look forward to? Why?
This journal is a labor of love and not meant to be a money making endeavor, for that reason we are not offering any compensation for your submission, nor do we retain ownership of your work. You are just letting us borrow it so that we can compile it with other meaningful and inspirational stories. We recommend that if you will write something, that you stick to around 600 - 800 words. Not sure how long that is? Take a look at this sample: Riding Loudoun County’s Historic Gravel Roads.
We also can’t guarantee that your submission will make it to a later issue. We do guarantee, however, that we will read it and get back to you.
If you are good with the above, the first step is to reach out to us using the form below
