Join the Faticalawi Team Creative: Share the Adventure
Welcome to Faticalawi, where wild landscapes, daring trails, and the subtleties of nature’s frontier become stories worth sharing. Founded by outdoor voyager Korlan Kovalde, our mission is to amplify the spirit of exploration through insightful content, empowering others to discover the awe that lies just beyond the next summit or forest bend. From our home base at 2817 Nash Street, Chicago, Illinois 60605, we operate from 9 AM to 5 PM with an open invitation to writers who are inspired by adventure, outdoor wisdom, and the poetic power of untouched terrain.
Our team isn’t just a group of creators—we are storytellers of the unexplored, advocates for the prepared, and seekers of authenticity. If you’re passionate about nature’s calling and believe your voice can illuminate unseen destinations or forgotten skills, we want you to contribute to the growing landscape of Faticalawi.
Why Write for Faticalawi?
Faticalawi is more than just a publication—it’s a growing community of thoughtful adventurers and inspired creators. Our readers span from new hikers discovering their first ridge to seasoned climbers seeking refined gear setups and deep wilderness wisdom. When you write for Faticalawi, you contribute to a movement rooted in intentional exploration, curiosity-driven learning, and a shared appreciation for Earth’s diversity.
Your insights can help someone build their first backpacking kit, discover a forgotten canyon, or understand the rhythm of survival in solitude. The stories you tell here can challenge norms, paint vivid portraits of the terrain, and ultimately inspire the next adventure trail someone dares to walk.
What We’re Looking For
We welcome thoughtful, original contributions in the following categories:
- Frontier Findings: Groundbreaking discoveries, environmental shifts, or hard-won wisdom learned through experience in remote areas.
- Outdoor Exploration Basics: Guides for beginning hikers, campers, or naturalists—solid tutorials rooted in practical experience.
- Wild Terrain Experiences: Personal stories that capture the raw beauty, risk, or revelation found in distant places.
- Gear Setup Guides: From minimalist tools to complex kits, share real-world field-tested insights into what works and why.
- Hidden Gems: Reveal off-the-map trails, local secrets, or locations that reflect untouched majesty few know to seek.
Our Ideal Contributor
You don’t have to summit Everest or live off-grid to write with us. We’re looking for voices that are authentic, reflective, and grounded in experience. Whether you’re a solo traveler describing a canyon no map names, a weekend gear tinkerer discovering comfort on rugged slopes, or a curious nature-lover who sees poetry in leaves and stars, you belong here.
If you can combine wild wonder with humility, rigor with narrative, or gear science with joy, then your words will find purpose among our pages.
Submission Guidelines
To maintain the quality and clarity of the Faticalawi experience, we kindly ask all contributors to review our expectations before sending in work:
- Original Content Only: Submissions must be unpublished and authentically yours. We appreciate fresh voices and real tales.
- Word Count: Most submitted articles range between 1,000–1,500 words, depending on depth and topic.
- Tone: Thoughtfully optimistic—willing to acknowledge the wild’s challenge while honoring its promise.
- Citations & Accuracy: If you reference data (e.g., trail stats, climate impacts, gear specs), link to source material or provide clarity. Your credibility reflects your respect for readers.
- Formatting: Submit your piece in .doc or .docx format, with clear headings where applicable. Include a short author bio, links to your portfolio, and a high-resolution image if you have one to accompany the post.
Please send submissions or inquiries directly to [email protected]. We review every submission personally. Our team will respond within two weeks with acceptance, feedback, or suggested revisions—our goal is to refine, not reject.
The Creative Terrain We Offer
Writing for Faticalawi isn’t just a way to get published—it’s your chance to plant moments of clarity into the ground of others’ adventures. Readers come to us for more than facts—they seek presence, perspective, and the confidence to navigate nature’s unpredictability. Your words can become a trail marker for someone yearning for direction.
In return, we highlight every contributor with a profile feature, connect your work to eager audiences across platforms, and foster relationships that extend beyond a single page. The stories we publish are not aimed merely to inform, but to linger—to echo across distance and time like the call of a loon or the drift of a canyon breeze.
The Power of a Story Well-Told
Here at Faticalawi, we believe that words can carry the same weight as any hiking pole or compass. They can lead, steady, and inspire. They bring light to shadowed valleys and breath to still mountain spines. If you’ve ever stood atop a bluff and wished to bottle that feeling into language—that’s the essence of what we hope to capture.
Your contribution is not a means to fill space—it becomes part of our shared archive of memory and meaning. Whether you write once or often, you become family here.
