Over 50+ online travel magazines that are looking for your new material.

As editor of this magazine, I often receive submissions that fall into the travel narrative category.

This is everything from “My Trip To Ireland” to “Explore Sunny Greece” type travelogues and reviews.

Some of these submissions are quite good, while some are forgettable. But neither are the type of articles I publish here at Brave New Traveler.

Instead, we opt for the news, views, and editorial type articles that discuss the nature of travel – and everything that comes along with it.

Inevitably, this means I must reject many of the hopeful writers that send in their work. Luckily, there are a plethora of other travel magazines that ARE interested in these types of travel writing.

I’ve collected the first 50 travel magazines that I’ve discovered in this handy list.

Feel free to bookmark it, add to delicious or digg it, or forward to your travel writing friends to help spread the word. Enjoy!

    Dear Ian,

    Big World Magazine is two years too late for your list (having just launched in March 09) but would be thrilled to be included http://www.bigworldmagazine.com.

    We’re in search of high-quality experiential stories, photo essays and multimedia that evoke a sense of place. Powerful narrative, provocative profiles, reported stories and investigative work are all fair game. No pay yet, but we’ll pay 50% of anything we can syndicate, and circulate contributors’ credentials to a roster of influential assigning editors.

    Submission guidelines at: http://www.bigworldmagazine.com/submit/

    And many thanks!

    Mary D’Ambrosio, founding editor
    Big World Magazine

    Thanks so much for starting this list… and thanks to the commenters for keepin’ it going!

    You’ve mentioned some of them here… but we have a list of 100+ publications where you can submit travel writing over at the Travel Writer’s Life, too!

    http://www.thetravelwriterslife.com/where_to_get_published/

    Not all of them are paid, but you’ll find profiles of them, links to writer’s guidelines, tips from pro writers and editors, publications that buy photos, etc.

    – Bonnie

    I was wondering, what company would publish my writing about traveling, but not so, picky about what I write about, opinion wise I mean, do you get what I am saying?
