Join the Voice of Follheur: Writers, Adventurers, and Trailblazers Welcome
Welcome to Follheur – where stories rise with the sun and echo across wild ridgelines. Founded by the intrepid Zyphara Veythorne, Follheur is a celebration of wilderness passion, expedition know-how, and discovery through storytelling. From our hearth at 451 Augusta Park, Wheeling, West Virginia 26003, United States, we operate daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, giving voice to those who live and breathe the rhythms of the land, sky, and trail.
We believe in journeys – internal and external, spoken and scribed. With signature series like Horizon Headlines, Outdoor Living Basics, Adventure Gear Comparisons, and Wilderness Survival Hacks, Follheur brings the frontiers of experience into every reader’s mind. And now, we’re looking for fellow explorers who know how to wield a pen like a compass.
Why Write for Follheur?
Your experiences matter – not just where you went or what you did, but the grit beneath your soles and the wonder in your lungs. Follheur is more than a content platform; it’s a voice and a vision for those for whom wild places aren’t escape but calling. If you’ve ever figured out how to tie down a tarp in gale-force winds or tasted coffee boiled on volcanic rock, your story belongs here.
Writing for Follheur means joining a community of outdoor thinkers, survival tacticians, innovative gear reviewers, and trail-top storytellers. Our readers span the globe – weekend wanderers, minimalist long-haulers, curious campers, and aspiring survivalists – all of whom seek sincerity, utility, and inspiration.
What We’re Looking For
We welcome sharp eyes, curious minds, and clear voices. Our most treasured pieces are laced with practical wisdom and real-world experience. We invite pitches and submissions for the following categories:
- Outdoor Living Basics: Tips and foundational knowledge for living comfortably beyond four walls.
- Adventure Gear Comparisons: In-depth reviews and side-by-sides of gear you’ve tested in the wild (not just in your garage).
- Horizon Headlines: Fresh perspectives on the outdoor world’s ethics, news, and shifting ecosystems.
- Wilderness Survival Hacks: Smart, usable strategies for safety, resilience, and thrill in uncertain terrain.
- Heuristic Trail Discoveries: Hidden places, lessons learned, and the soulful science of getting a little lost.
We want truth and tenderness wrapped in clarity. The voice of someone who’s been there – who’s tested their assumptions in the fog and whose fingers remember cold metal and morning dew.
Who Should Submit?
If you’ve ever plodded through snow with soggy boots and still found serenity…
If your phone is full of dirt-smudged landscape shots and trail notes meant for someday…
If you understand what it’s like to need a lighter pack or trust a backup plan…
We want you to send us your words.
We’re seeking writers from all walks of life: seasoned guides, weekend warriors, field researchers, outdoor educators, thoughtfully opinionated gear nerds, and meditative hikers alike. Prior publishing experience isn’t required – only your voice, your story, and your commitment to clarity.

Our Editorial Style
Follheur’s tone is confidently warm – part fireside storytelling, part field manual. Our articles are focused, grounded, and written with rugged elegance and personal trust.

Instead, we meet them at their skill level and elevate their experience with thoughtful insight and direct communication.
We encourage using active voice, vivid detail, and field-tested authenticity. Humor is welcome, provided it’s humble. And clarity always beats cleverness.
