Consequently, we'd much rather have a tight 2,000 words on traveling to Anchorage in the spring than on all of Alaska. The maximum length for travel features, unless cleared by the editorial staff, is 2,500 words. Highways' stories are usually in color, although some run in black and white. When possible, the transparencies should feature RVs against a scenic backdrop. Focus your photography on scenic or panoramic views for the opening layout and points of interest, local color and activity shots for the carryover pages.
Higher fees are negotiable.
Color transparencies showing the maintenance procedure are essential. An example of this type of a story includes a look at propane use by RVers. Stories should be 1,400 to 2,000 words and be accompanied by a selection of transparencies. However, it is guaranteed to be a tough sale. An example of this is the caring for rubber roof story in our October 1997 issue.
