Submissions
Escapees magazine is primarily a compilation of articles, tips, and personal views submitted by Escapees members.
Although member material is considered first priority, nonmember material is also reviewed. Travel/destinations-type articles are kept to a minimum and generally selected only when the location coincides with an Escapees national event. Well researched technical and informational articles are in high demand. Keep reading to see how YOU can contribute to Escapees magazine!
Writer’s Guidelines
Escapees magazine contributors are RVers interested in sharing the RV lifestyle. Our audience includes full- and part-time RVers, RVing snowbirds (those who travel south for the winter), and anyone considering extensive travel. Escapees members have varying levels of RVing experience; therefore, the magazine looks for a wide variety of material typically not found in conventional RV magazines.
