Become part of the Biker eNews
Are you a motorcyclist with a fascinating story to tell? Do you
have a photo that words can do no justice? If so, we'd love to see it and,
perhaps, publish it.
If it's about motorcycling, we're interested. Riding stories,
reviews of your favorite products, stories about re-building your first bike,
amateur racing stories, stories from the motorcycling industry, and so on.
Please review below. Then, drop us an e-mail at
Editor@bikerenews.com. Make sure you
include your full contact information (phone number and physical address). Of
course, only submit photos that you own full rights to, and if you're not the
photographer, please tell us who is so we can give proper credit.
Rides
These are feature-length articles detailing a
member's motorcycle ride, trip or event. This can be a road tour, a trail ride,
an adventure ride or a race. The articles should tell a compelling story,
provide practical information to readers who might want to re-create the ride
and convey the fun of motorcycling. Excellent photography is critical. While
there is definitely a place for static photography, such as your bike next to a
sweeping vista, action shots are what make a story stand out. These articles
can range from 1,200 words on the short side to 2,000 words on the long side.
Guest Column
Want to sound off on a current industry issue
or just want to tell an interesting story that doesn't fit anywhere else in the
magazine? Then, consider submitting a Guest Column. These are roughly 500
words.
Stand-alone photos
Instead of a full-blown story to tell,
maybe you have a great photo that captures the spirit of motorcycling. Whether
your shot conveys the thrill of motocross, the freedom of the open road, or the
excitement on a young rider's face as he or she discovers motorcycling, share
it with us. Please send photos in JPEG format at their highest resolution.
My Favorite Bike
Tell us about your favorite bike and five
or six cool things that stick out about it. Examples might be why you loved it,
what it did great, what it did terrible, how it broke, how it didn't, why you
sold it, why you didn't sell it, etc. Yes, we'd love to see a photo of this, as
well. The total word count should be less than 200 words.
My Favorite Gear
Same thing as My Favorite Bike, only with
an item of gear, a tool, anything you might use in conjunction with
motorcycling other than the motorcycle itself.
One Good Tip
A quick, clever tip about working on your bike,
riding your bike, cleaning your bike, etc. Tell us something we've never
thought of, and we'll tell everyone else. These should be less than 100 words
in length. |
