Tell Us YOUR Story!

You may have noticed a few changes in the last few issues of The Gateway, with our new section The Gateway Journal. We’re still all about biking and local interest. We’ve still got the calendar you know and love. But we’re trying to broaden our horizons, too. Our goal is to open an official HI hostel in the St. Louis area. To that end, we’re trying to get the word out about how cool youth hostels are by publishing traveler’s tales. 

You may have read we want to make The Gateway Journal our centerpiece, but to do that we need your help. We’re looking for informative, interesting, well-written travel stories. We encourage you to send in stories focusing on backpacking/hostel travel, but this is not a requirement. Mainly we just want good yarns that are fun to read. 

Articles should be no more than 1,500 words and include pictures. E-mail your submissions to gjeditor@moonlightramble.com, cut and pasted into the body of the e-mail or attached as an MS Word document. Pictures need to have a resolution of at least 300 dpi, and be sent as JPEG files.
