Getting published
To improve your chances of getting published, include:
1. Precise details (locales, anecdotes, events, conversations, people, food, how you got there, where you stayed).
2. At least one quality, original, landscape-oriented photo that reflects your experience.
3. First-person insight, tips for Reader readers.
Note: if your story is selected for the Reader’s print edition, it can take 60-90 days to appear in print.
