Write for us

We welcome thoughtful pitches about walking, hiking and day trips, especially pieces that help readers make a choice, understand a detail or pay closer attention to a place. Send proposals through the Contact page, with Write for Us selected as the reason for writing.

What makes a strong pitch

Tell us the central question or idea, why it suits Waymark and Day, and what a reader will understand or be able to consider after reading. A focused proposal with a distinct angle is more useful than a broad list of possible topics.

Subjects and approach

We are interested in clear explainers, comparisons, background pieces, reflections on walking habits and carefully framed guides to an occasion or season. Write with specific detail and a measured voice. Avoid unsupported claims, promotional copy and advice that depends on unverified conditions or rules.

Sending a proposal

Use the Contact page to send a short pitch and a little context about your approach. Please do not send a complete article unless it has been requested. A proposal is not a promise of publication.
