Call for Article Submissions: Fall 2022, Utah Sierran

August 29, 2022

The opportunity to amplify issues you care about is here!  We are accepting article ideas for the Fall 2022, Utah Sierran. We know there are so many on-going efforts throughout the state, so please, share what’s going on in your community with the broader Sierra Club audience. 

Sierran brings together writers and photographers from across the state to convey the ideals at the heart of the Sierra Club’s mission: that everyone, regardless of race or income, should enjoy the same basic rights to clean air, clean water, a stable climate, and safe and easy access to experience wild nature.  

We are accepting article proposals starting August 4th - August 20th, 2022

Once accepted, you will have until September 9th to submit your final draft for the publishing team’s edit and review. The team will then be working to finalize the publication by October 1st for mailing by mid October to align with our Executive Committee election window, pending, for November 1st- December 4th 

Submitting your proposed article: 

  1. Our newsletters are archived back to 2001 and may be found on our website here. Check out our archives for writing inspiration and ideas, and contact Carly Ferro, if you have any questions. 

  2. Submit your pitch to CarlyFerro (Carly.Ferro@sierraclub.org) and copy Rebekah Ashley (rebekah.ashley@sierraclub.org) with the subject line: Utah Sierran Pitch. Submissions will be considered for publication at the editors' discretion.
