RANGE Magazine: Market Spotlight
RANGE Magazine is focused on the American West, its people, lifestyles, lands, and wildlife. Established in 1991, this quarterly magazine is especially interested in issues that threaten this way of life.
(Nonfiction Markets for Writers.)
The editors say, “Known for its powerful photos and straight talk, RANGE exposes a land and lifestyle in crisis and shows how daily challenges are being met with grit, determination, and humor. No stranger to controversy, RANGE is the leading forum for divergent viewpoints in the search for solutions that will halt the depletion of a national resource, the American cowboy.”
This market pays $50 to $400 per article.
What They’re Looking For
The editors of RANGE want stories about successful family ranches, solid profiles of working cowboys and sheepherders, and interviews with government employees and environmentalists who’ve had a positive impact on the land. Regular features run 1,200 to 2,000 words; mini-features run 600 to 1,200 words; and columns run 500 to 650 words.
The editors say, “Completed manuscripts are OK, but so are query letters explaining your story idea along with a two-page writing sample. Good photographs (each captioned and credited) also help tell the story. We use photographs of people at work on the land and in the ranch house plus shots of wildlife and livestock on the range.”
