The only thing boaters like almost as much as boating is talking about it. And the American Whitewater Journal is the perfect place to tell your river stories! You can contribute your stories, imagery, art, poetry, recipes, questions, safety issues, and more. Use our online submission form or email editor@americanwhitewater.org with ideas for a contribution. You can also email any question you want to ask us and we’ll print an answer to the best of our ability in our Ask AW column! Contributing to the Journal is a great way to support American Whitewater’s mission and share your knowledge and love for rivers with the community.

The Journal has been around since 1955. That’s over 70 years as a publication promoting and supporting river stewardship, the boating life, and talking about it afterwards. By contributing, or even just joining as a member, you can become a part of this long-standing and storied tradition. If you have the means, consider joining at a higher level, and you’ll get to enjoy the Journal, and your dollars will go directly towards protecting the access and health of the rivers you love.
