Article Submission Guidelines
The CMC was established in 1912, and the tradition of the magazine dates to 1918.
The Colorado Mountain Club is organized to:
- Unite the energy, interest, and knowledge of the students, explorers, and
lovers of the mountains of Colorado;
- Collect and disseminate information regarding the Rocky Mountains on behalf
of science, literature, art, and recreation;
- Stimulate public interest in our mountain area;
- Encourage the preservation of forests, flowers, fauna, and natural scenery;
and
- Render readily accessible the alpine attractions of this region.
We encourage submissions from freelance writers who are familiar with our
subject matter and our mission statement, listed above. Learn more about the club online, or for a sample copy of the magazine, send a
self-addressed catalog-sized envelope and a check for $3 payable to "CMC."
Please be sure your article conforms to style and word usage as detailed
in The Associated Press Stylebook. Visit www.apstylebook.com if you are
not sure.
Finally, payment for articles is on acceptance, which is contingent on a favorable
review by our editorial staff, and by outside reviewers, where appropriate.
