Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Founded in 1966 and revived in 2020, Mountain Gazette is an outdoor title for the modern world. The large-format, bi-annual title’s editorial mission is to cover what can happen when one walks out their front door. From Jackson Hole to Jackson Heights, Mountain Gazette reflects the outdoor world as it is.
Accepts Unsolicited Submissions
Yes
Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Be yourself. Each issue of Mountain Gazette is a reflection of our contributors. Be unique. Be yourself. Think outside the box.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Outside the box outdoor stories do not need Everest or a world-class athlete attached. What does the outdoor world look like in your part of the world? Put that in your pitch.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Be bold and ambitious.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
A smokejumper from Montana pitched a story about hitchhiking in Saudi Arabia. That story came through our general submission inbox and we ran it at 12 pages in the magazine.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
The Mountain Gazette reader has a finely tuned bullshit detector. They don’t want to read about gear or top 10 lists. They want to be surprised in every issue.
