Here’s the thing – everyone has a unique perspective on green outdoor living. Maybe you’ve figured out how to camp for a week using only solar power, or perhaps you’ve discovered the perfect eco-friendly hiking boots after years of trial and error. These real experiences matter more than perfect prose.
What We’re Looking For
We welcome a diverse range of outdoor content that aligns with our green philosophy. Whether you’re a seasoned environmentalist or someone just beginning their sustainable outdoor journey, we want to hear your voice.
Sustainable Outdoor Activity Guides – Share your knowledge about low-impact hiking, leave-no-trace camping, or eco-friendly water sports. Help our readers discover how to enjoy outdoor activities while minimizing their environmental footprint.
Green Gear Reviews and Recommendations – Have you tested sustainable outdoor equipment or eco-friendly gear? Write honest reviews about products that help outdoor enthusiasts make environmentally conscious choices.
Eco-Conscious Travel and Camping Tips – From solar-powered camping setups to zero-waste backpacking strategies, we love practical advice that helps people adventure responsibly. Share your best tips for reducing environmental impact during outdoor trips.
Wildlife Conservation and Nature Photography – Stories about wildlife encounters, conservation efforts, or ethical nature photography practices are always welcome. Help readers understand how to observe and document nature respectfully.
Personal Green Adventure Stories – Sometimes the most powerful content comes from personal experience. Share your journey toward more sustainable outdoor practices or memorable eco-friendly adventures that changed your perspective.
Submission Guidelines
Look, we’re not trying to be difficult here, but we do need to maintain some standards. Think of these as friendly guidelines rather than rigid rules.
Keep It Original – This one’s non-negotiable. We only publish content that’s never appeared anywhere else online. That includes your personal blog, Medium account, or anywhere else. Fresh content only, please.
Find Your Sweet Spot – Aim for 500 to 1,000 words. That’s enough space to really dig into a topic without losing your reader’s attention. Too short feels rushed; too long gets overwhelming.
Write Like You Talk – We want your authentic voice, not corporate speak. Share your knowledge in a way that feels like you’re chatting with a friend around a campfire. Grammar matters, but personality matters more.
Show, Don’t Just Tell – Include 2-3 original photos that actually add to your story. Blurry phone pics won’t cut it, but you don’t need professional equipment either. Just make sure they’re clear, relevant, and at least 1200 pixels wide.
How to Submit Your Article
Ready to get published? The process is pretty straightforward, and we’ve tried to make it as painless as possible.
Start with a Pitch – Drop us a line at submissions@greenecodream.com with your idea. No need for a formal proposal – just tell us what you want to write about, why it matters, and a bit about yourself. Think of it as introducing yourself at a trailhead.
Wait for the Green Light – We’ll get back to you within a week (usually sooner). If your idea fits what we’re looking for, we’ll give you the thumbs up and any specific guidelines for your piece.
Write Your Heart Out – Once approved, you’ve got your deadline. Take your time to craft something you’re proud of. Include those photos we talked about and a short bio that tells us who you are beyond your writing.
We Handle the Rest – After you submit, we’ll review everything and might suggest a few tweaks. Nothing major – just making sure everything flows well. Then we’ll schedule your piece and let you know when it goes live.
Author Benefits
Here’s what you get when you write for us (beyond the warm fuzzy feeling of helping fellow adventurers):
Your Name in Lights – Well, maybe not lights, but definitely in a nice byline with your photo and bio. We’ll link to your website, social media, or whatever you want people to find when they Google you.
Social Media Love – We’ve got thousands of followers across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter who are genuinely interested in sustainable outdoor living. Your article gets shared with all of them, plus our email subscribers.
Portfolio Gold – Published articles on an established outdoor platform look great in your portfolio. Whether you’re building your writing career or establishing expertise in your field, this stuff matters.
Join the Tribe – Our contributing writers often connect with each other, share opportunities, and even plan adventures together. It’s a pretty cool community to be part of.
