SAIL Magazine Writing Contest
Are you the next great sailing journalist? Do you think your cruising experiences are worthy of print? Do you just like the idea of seeing your latest sailing yarn in a national magazine? If so, hurry up and write about your recent experience to make the June 30th deadline for SAIL Magazine’s “Cruising North America Writing Contest“.
The contest is fairly straightforward - imagine you’ve been hired to take a cruise and write about it. Your 1,200-word story about cruising along the coast or an inland lake will bring the reader on board to learn about the people you meet, the history and geography of the area, the experiences you’ve had and (of course!) the sailing you experienced while there.
The deadline is coming up quick - midnight of June 30, 2008 - so brush the dust off your computer and start writing!. The five finalists selected by the editors of SAIL magazine will have their articles posted on sailmag.com. There are no indications of how the winner will be selected (reader vote? Editor selection?), but he or she will be paid for the winning story, and it will be published in SAIL Magazine.
