Want to write an article for the Grapevine?
The Grapevine is the muchbetter community hub for sharing your news, stories, reviews, advice and opinions. We want you to take the spotlight, building a resource of interesting, inspiring and useful articles on adventure sports, travel, sustainability and everything inbetween.
Want to tell us about your latest adventure? How about a great piece of kit you have discovered? Got some useful technique tips to share? Maybe there is a growing ecological or environmental problem in your area and you want to raise awareness. Perhaps you just have to share an amazing video or photo with us? This is your place to do just that.
We include an authors bio with all articles, including links to your website/blog and branding of your business if appropriate. Our members will have their logo, brief description and a link to their company profile included on all articles. As well as in the Grapevine, articles are included in our adventure e-mag and feature in relevant search results, so they are a great place to be seen.
We have a range of topics and templates below to help you write your article. Don't be restricted by them though - if you have something else you want to share, just send it on through to tom@muchbetteradventures.com!
