informative post about Wend at the beginning of the year. Since it just launched and we both like the magazine’s concept, I decided to do a follow up post.
Wend Magazine is an adventure travel magazine with a West coast focus. What does wend mean? To go one’s own way. And they’re way is:
to provide a forum in which the convergence of sport, style and creativity blend in a seamless fashion. Wend is an amalgamation of visual, mental and physical inspiration, built to emanate the style and identity of the ever-growing population of the urban-minded adventurer. Wend’s content is informative, thought provoking, and above all, inspiring.
Sounds exciting, right? The premiere issue features articles about a bike ride through Northern British Columbia, a road trip featuring a dog, and a kayaking trip.
While researching Wend further, I discovered they’re looking for writers to contribute first hand experiences — with an adventure and outdoor focus — on the Pacific Northwest. Editorial departments include:
Go: outdoor related news. 500 words
Current: Showcases the latest trends in outdoor sports. 1,000-2,000 words
Wanderlust: Feature length outdoor tales. 2,500 + words
Road Trip: Adventure seeking road trips. Where, when, and how
Survival Kit: Adventure worthy gear and apparel
