We're looking for unique perspectives, rural living challenges, impactful stories and beyond for publication in Trailblazher. You can pitch yourself for a story, suggest a rural woman to be featured, or suggest a topic that you would like to research OR submit for our seasonally specific call-outs.

Please make sure that your submission is suitable for Trailblazher magazine. We ask that you are familiar with the style, tone and standard in Trailblazher before applying.

*Please do not submit the same idea multiple times. Please do not email about the status of your submission; you will be contacted if your work is chosen for publication. Trailblazher is quarterly and sometimes we're planning issues nearly a year in advance.

By submitting to Trailblazher, you confirm that you are the creator and author of the work and that you are not infringing on anyone's copyrighted material or utilizing AI. You are allowing Trailblazher to publish the work in print, digitally and on our website and in any related magazine or brand productions and promotions. Unless otherwise noted, there is no fee to submit to Trailblazher magazine. Our guest contributors are not currently paid if their work is selected for publication in the open calls (we are working on our distribution which will allow us to in the future), however every contributor receives a complimentary  copy of the Issue you are published in, as well as being recognized on our blog and social media.

For this reason, if you are a professional writer or journalist, Trailblazher may not be the right fit for you if being monetarily compensated is a priority. There are many other benefits to being amongst the Trailblazher community.
