Why You Should Try Outdoor Writing

By Kimberly Young


In this hyper competitive and demanding world, integrating ones job with ones preferred lifestyle is something thats close to impossible, like the proverbial castle in the air. And since its just close to impossible, its time you delve into the minute possibilities. If you have the talent, will, commitment, and adventurousness, then outdoor writing is your oyster.

This one does not really need some definitive delineation. Just the appellation by itself is enough to get its essence down pat. When were talking about outdoor literature, the nub of the matter is usually outdoorsy activities like hiking, biking, mountaineering, rock climbing, boating, rafting, kayaking, paragliding, and the list goes on and on. It may even include tourist accounts and narratives as they venture to foreign lands. In short, just about anything that will tickle the imagination of everyones inner adventurer or adventuress spirit.

There is indeed something to yearn about its proffered bohemian lifestyle, both from the readers and the writers. For the former, it is about escaping from the humdrum ways of everyday life through vicarious reading. And for the writers, it is a way to merge their money making venture with their preferred ways of living.

Outdoor literature is also called recreation writing, and it involves many kinds, types, jobs, markets, you name it. Its popularity lies in its too good to be true premise. Unlike what is often associated with writers, such as the confining desk, inhumane deadlines, and some such, this enterprise is something that allows the writer to get out from the four walls of a dingy office and venture out into the wider world.

The great thing about this market is that you can have multiple points of sale for one well written piece. With just a tad bit of revisions, you can sell the selfsame snippet to multiple markets. Essentially, many sales for one valuable experience.

This is the go to job for the readers and writers who are also adventurers. Its on a different plane from other genres because its something that requires an understandable and vivid narrative, and it has to be accurate, as well. It is a fun read because there are usually pictures provided. In this regard, it is observable that this does not only call for journalistic skills, but also photojournalistic ones.

Although it seems like the target market is selfsame, you will still actually have to mold your piece around the target audience. Read your considered website, magazine, or newspaper. Your narrative should be something that will fit snugly around its purpose and theme.

This genre is extremely challenging, demanding, and particular. They need all the particulars and specifics you can provide. That is because publishers and editors want to highlight something that readers can take away for themselves and use for their own purposes. Your effective adjectives and imagery will be for naught if you dont pitch in the nitty gritty about your tip, including what led you there, how to get there, the equipment they need, the level of challenge and difficulty, and most practically, the cost of the whole adventure.

To make it far, or even in the starting line, in this field, you will have to stand out from the rest. You should have a great pitch to make and a great story to tell. Provide good titles, taglines, and photographs. Before you can strive to catch the readers attention, you should aim for the editors first. You must bring a new, fresh idea to the table. And although the idea may be fine and dandy, you should give them a reason why YOU are the perfect person who gets to write about it.
