Join the Havajazon Team of Creative Explorers
At Havajazon, we believe that storytelling is an expedition—and we’re inviting you to blaze your own trail with us. Founded by the ever-curious Zyphara Windmere, our mission is to illuminate the wild edges of the map through rich, adventurous content. Whether it’s a misty horizon, a rarely-trekked mountaintop, or the intricacies of gear care in rugged terrains, our readers count on us for vibrantly useful and genuinely thrilling ideas. Now, we’re calling on passionate writers and wild thinkers to contribute to our growing community.
Home to Horizon headlines, zonal wilderness exploration, nature trekking strategies, and adventure gear maintenance tips, Havajazon is carved out for those who don’t just write—they roam, observe, hike, and love every leaf-crackling second of it. From our buzzing base at 4075 Saint Clair Street, New Albany, Mississippi 38652, we craft content with care from 9 AM to 5 PM, five days a week—with our minds always curious for more perspectives, stories, and breath-stealing moments to share.
Why Write for Havajazon?
To us, you are more than a contributor—you’re a co-adventurer. When you write for Havajazon, you step into a community committed to celebrating clarity, courage, and connection through the written word. We offer you a platform where:
- Your voice matters: Share what you see from the ridgelines, the riverbanks, and the horizon’s edge.
- Your passion has a purpose: Empower creatives and adventurers to connect more deeply with nature.
- Your words go places: Havajazon is a trusted guide for outdoor enthusiasts from Mississippi trails to global summits.
- Your craft evolves: Collaborate with a welcoming editorial team that challenges you to grow without stifling your style.
Who Should Contribute?
Our writers are explorers of both terrain and text—each one bringing a grounded, energized perspective to life outside. We’re looking for:
- Seasoned trekkers who’ve mapped more than mileage—they’ve mapped experience.
- Gear enthusiasts who can speak fluently about zippers, seams, and survival strategies.
- Nature newcomers who want to take others along for their learning journey.
- Story-driven generalists with insights into sustainable wilderness living or fresh takes on outdoor culture.
If your heart beats a little faster when telling tales by a campfire or sketching with words the arc of a mountain trail, you belong with us.
What We’re Looking For
The wilds are wide and so is our content. We’re seeking submissions that fall within, but aren’t limited to:
- Adventure Guides: Your personal narrative on trekking desert trails or coastal cliffs—rich in strategy, soaked in authenticity.
- Gear Know-How: Teach readers how to service, select, or storify outdoor equipment so it goes the distance.
- Exploration Essays: Introspective write-ups on zones you’ve explored—from the Appalachian ridges to unpaved backwoods.
- Nature Wisdom: Tips on trail safety, navigation, survival skills, or cultivating a respect for untouched landscapes.
How to Submit Your Work
We make our pitch process simple, grounded, and collaborative—because creative energy should flow, not get tangled in instructions. To send us your piece or pitch:
- Draft your article or pitch (300-600 words for submissions; 2-3 paragraph outline for ideas).
- Attach your content as a Word doc or include your pitch in your email body.
- Double-check for originality—your voice should lead, not follow!
- Email it to us at [email protected] with the subject line “Pitch: [Your Article/Piece Title]”.
We review every submission with genuine attention within 7–10 business days. If it aligns with our mission and excites the editorial crew, we’ll be in touch to discuss next steps—possibly including revisions, feedback, and publication timelines.
Submission Guidelines
While our tone tends to be positively engaged (think: genuine, high-spirited, and rooted in experience), we expect clarity, accuracy, and originality in all pieces. Keep in mind our editorial preferences:
- Approximate length: 800–1200 words for published articles.
- Formatting: Use short paragraphs, subheadings, and bulleted lists to improve readability.
- Attribution: Give credit where it’s due—technical facts, indigenous wisdom, or third-party sources should be properly cited.
- No pre-published content: We require original, unpublished drafts.
