Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel is an instructional, how-to-do-it magazine about bargain-priced travel. Its closest counterparts are the computer magazines. Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel attempts to instruct its readers on the best forms of low cost travel. Budget Travel Magazine is published monthly (except for combined issues in December/January and July/August) by Newsweek Budget Travel. Budget Travel accepts submissions from freelance writers. To be considered, send a copy of published work as a sample, your pitch (not a completed article) and a cover letter. Budget Travel does not contain articles on the vacations that an author has taken; it deals with step-by-step vacations that the readers of the magazine will take. It does not print travel memoirs--funny or dramatic stories of the writer's trips. It consists of analytical discussions aiding the reader to take such trips, with extremely practical and hands-on information, like a guidebook would. Do not write in an overly "personal" voice. It should also be kept in mind that Budget deals with the very lowest priced of all vacation trips. If the trip costs in total (airfare, lodging, meals) more than $150 a day, they are not interested in it--no matter how great a "value" such a trip may be. Feel free to give Budget your one-sentence "bio," and note passages you think would make a good highlighted "pull quote." Some sample feature articles include: "Paris Hotels at a Price That's Right- From bohemian to luxe, here are five boutique properties with atmosphere to spare." "Affordable Europe: Check Auto Europe for car rentals" "Save the Date: Wacky Festivals- A month-by-month guide to the contests and parades that bring out America's best and quirkiest. Some people will dream up any excuse for a party!" send: Query with clips looking for: Article specifically: Travel/Outdoors |
