You’ve taken amazing trips, regaled your friends and family with
the tales, and thought you could give Bill Bryson a run for his
money. Now, consider sharing your stories with
Playtimes
readers
in our third annual travel-writing contest.
Our January 2014 Travel issue is your chance to shine.
Think about a trip you’ve taken. What was special about it?
What made it so memorable? Why would other
Playtimes
readers
want to know about it?
Tell us your story and you might just see your work in print!
Past winners Jill Mortensen and Aquin Dennison-Mathew
have gone on to become regular
Playtimes
contributors!
Word limit: 900 to 1,200 words
Deadline: 1 November 2013
Format: Email a Word document to
and include “Travel Writing” in the subject line.
Before you start typing, read a few other
Playtimes
articles,
especially those from last year’s travel issue, which you can
download at
on the
Playtimes
link). We’re
looking for well-written pieces that fit the magazine in style and
tone. Take an extra moment to edit and proofread, and send
us your best effort. (We do reserve the right to edit entries as
needed, for grammar, punctuation, style and clarity.)
