American Style

Our mandate is to nurture collectors with information that will increase their knowledge of and passion for contemporary craft and the artists who create it. Freelancers interested in contributing to AmericanStyle should submit a clear, specific, concise outline of the topic they wish to write about and explain why they think it would be of interest to AmericanStyle readers.

Guidelines


Analog
PAY: $.05 - $.08/word
Will consider material submitted by any writer, and consider it solely on the basis of merit. We are definitely eager to find and develop new, capable writers. We have no hard-and-fast editorial guidelines, because science fiction is such a broad field that I don't want to inhibit a new writer's thinking by imposing Thou Shalt Nots. Besides, a really good story can make an editor swallow his preconceived taboos. Basically, we publish science fiction stories. That is, stories in which some aspect of future science or technology is so integral to the plot that, if that aspect were removed, the story would collapse. Try to picture Mary Shelley's Frankenstein without the science and you'll see what I mean. No story!
http://www.analogsf.com/information/submissions.shtml


Andromeda Spaceways
PAY: AUS$1.25/word
We accept science fiction, fantasy and horror works up to 10,000 words in length. Longer works -- including serialised novels -- will be considered, but please contact us first about those. Submissions of up to 20,000 words are permitted from subscribers and from authors resident in Australia and New Zealand. (It costs a fortune for Aus & NZ authors to post a story that length to overseas markets - that's why we bend the guidelines for them.) Andromeda Spaceways is intended for a wide audience, so we don't want anything more than M rated: No gratuitous sex or graphic violence. We want the overall tone of ASIM to be light as opposed to the dark-and-gritty style that characterises so many other SF mags this day and age. This does not mean we only publish light humour pieces, though. Our readers are just as keen on traditional fantasy and hard science fiction. We're just not the best market for doom-laden go-nowhere stories which push the boundaries of the English language into new and unfortunate places. Given an otherwise even choice between angst and adventure, we'll grab the adventure.
http://www.andromedaspaceways.com/submissions.htm


Angelica
PAY: $.20/word
Uses stories with a contemporary setting only - no historical fiction. Stories should be 2,000 to 4,200 words. Suspense/thriller content is preferred. The story must have Christian elements in it: examples: an intense salvation experience in the story; a recommitment to Christ resulting from a life that had veered away from Christ; an indication that the character(s) have a faith in God, even if it's wavering, with the story showing somewhere that God is, in fact, faithful. Make sure that it is not preachy or contrived. We want it to fit naturally into the story line. Love stories are not something we are looking for unless the romance plays only a small, fairly insignificant role in the story. Angels, demons, supernatural, good vs. evil, end times etc., are desirable content along with any other type of good Christian fiction you know is selling on the market right now. No non-fiction. We are very selective about poetry. We are not interested in poetry about nature. We prefer intense pieces on faith, grace, salvation, forgiveness, etc.
http://www.angelicamagazine.com/writers_guideline.html


Angels on Earth®
PAY: $25 - $400
Publishes true stories about God's messengers at work in today's world. We are interested in stories of heavenly angels and stories involving humans who have played angelic roles in daily life. The best stories are those where the narrator has been positively affected in some distinct way. Look for unusual situations; we have a surplus of stories about illness and car accidents. We are also especially on the lookout for recent stories. A typical Angels on Earth story is first-person narrative written in dramatic style, with a spiritual point that the reader can "take away" and apply to his or her own life. It may be your own or someone else's story.

Asimov's Science Fiction magazine
PAY: $.05+/word
In general, we're looking for "character oriented" stories, those in which the characters, rather than the science, provide the main focus for the reader's interest. Serious, thoughtful, yet accessible fiction will constitute the majority of our purchases, but there's always room for the humorous as well. Borderline fantasy is fine, but no Sword & Sorcery, please. Neither are we interested in explicit sex or violence. A good overview would be to consider that all fiction is written to examine or illuminate some aspect of human existence, but that in science fiction the backdrop you work against is the size of the Universe.

Cineaste
PAY: $10 - $100
A quarterly magazine (founded in 1967) which offers a social, political and esthetic perspective on the cinema. We are not affiliated with any organization or institution. We are interested in all areas of the cinema, including Hollywood films (old and new), American independents, quality European films, and the cinema of the Third World. Familiarity with our editorial policies is a must for authors. The most frequent reason we reject material is that the potential contributor has sent material which, because of length or style or orientation, is clearly out of place in our pages. Our target audience is the intelligent general public, a public that is fairly sophisticated about both art and politics. No matter how complex the ideas or arguments advanced, we demand readability. We think it is the job of the writer to clarify his or her thoughts and not for the reader to decipher clumsy formulations. We dislike academic jargon, obtuse Marxist terminology, film buff trivia, trendy 'buzz' phrases, and show biz references. We do not want our writers to speak of how they have 'read' or 'decoded' a film, but to view, analyze and interpret same. The author's processes and quirks should be secondary to the interests of the reader. Warning the reader of problems with specific films is more important to us than artificially 'puffing' a film because its producers or politics are agreeable.

Area histories, profiles of notable or unknown climbers, controversial issues, and first-person accounts are fair game. Humorous or unusual tales are especially welcome -- we and our readers love the weird and the wild, both in climbing and writing, whether it’s the uniqueness of the crag, a community, or a personality.

GOALS and EDUCATION: We are especially interested in articles that assist young parents in returning to school or furthering their education. Topics that explain the process of applying for grants, for instance, are helpful and welcome, but an article that points to specific grants and specific parent-friendly schools are even better.

Writers are encouraged to submit queries on article ideas.

Many queries are turned down because we have no idea what the writer is getting at. Be sure that your letter is absolutely clear. We've found that if you can't sum up the point of the article in a sentence or two, the article doesn't have a point. Pieces that depend on writing style, such as humor, mood, and nostalgia or essays often can't be queried and may be submitted in manuscript form. The same is true of short tips. All submissions to FIELD & STREAM are on an on-spec basis.

Please indicate if your initiative resulted in marriage or committed arrangement. The most unique and inspired tales will be accepted for publication. Please note that it doesn't have to be your story; you may submit the story of any female you know who brazenly took the initiative--it could be your best friend, aunt, etc., if it complies with the above. You may choose to remain anonymous, or we will give you credit in the book for your successful story--whichever you prefer. Either way you will be paid if your submission is published.

GreenPrints

PAY: up to $100 We want the best, personal (key word, that) garden writing we can find. Expressive, thoughtful, humorous, angry, contrite, flippant, searching, witty, observant, sad, inviting-whatever! We focus on the human, not the how-to side of gardening. On the people as well as the plants. After all, gardening is a relationship, not a recipe. GreenPrints explores that relationship, not by instructing, preaching, or lecturing about it. Instead, we celebrate it . . . by sharing the stories and experiences we all have trying (and sometimes failing) to get along with plants. I can put what we want in one word: Storytelling. Or maybe storyshowing. The most common shortcoming I see is people who forget the old high-school English-class dictum: Show, don't tell. Take us through the experiences with trenchant details and tight descriptions. Don't tell us how profound or funny or beautiful it was: make us experience the feeling.

Living Dead Press
PAYS: $.01/word plus copy
Original stories about standard zombies that have not been printed anywhere before. Only slow, Romero-type zombies. Keep the plot true to a world where the dead walk. All the stories need to be set during either Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead timeline. Therefore the zombies are not rotting and purtid just yet, but do have wounds or have just left the funeral home. No viruses, the dead walk and we don't know why, just like the movies. Its not airborn ect. you die, you come back, period. In this world, the dead walking is new as people deal with it in their own ways, be it fight or run. No werewolves or vampires, its the world we live in but the dead walk, otherwise everything is the same. We want action, save the intelligent stories for someone else. We want blood, gore and guns. Also, we are not fans of first person stories so unless your story is absolutley fantastic, only a few will be picked that are in first person. Here's the deal folks. If we start reading and the story goes of in any other direction than what we are looking for, it gets rejected for this book on the spot. Stories are to range from 3,000 to 6,000 words. The story can be up to 10,000, but you only get paid to 6. Nothing under 3,000 will be considered, they are too short. We want real stories, not flash fiction. Under deadline.

We are a trade publication, but we are not the "nut-and-bolt monthly".

As a result, our features must be appealing and comprehensible to people who are interested in the fishing industry but who are not be directly involved in catching fish. We try to accomplish this by publishing stories about people. Yes, there are boats and fish and regulators and nets and engines and all the rest, but they must be part of stories that are engaging, honest, and unpretentious accounts of the people, equipment, and events that make commercial fishing the exciting and very human business it is.

Paddler Magazine

PAY: 15 to 25 cents per published word Send us stories that are both informative and entertaining. If your article only has one of these two ingredients, then try again before sending it to us. For example, if your destination piece tells us everything there is to know about a particular place to paddle, but does so in a boring manner, then you've only achieved half your goal. Also, to paraphrase Steve Martin (In Planes, Trains and Automobiles): "If you're going to tell a story, have a point--it makes it so much more interesting for the reader." Paddler is published six times a year and is written by and for knowledgeable paddlers. We cover the whole spectrum--whitewater, flatwater,canoeing, sea kayaking, rafting, sit-on-tops--if you do it with a paddle in your hand, we're all over it. Our core audience is the intermediate to advanced paddler, yet we strive to cover the entire range from beginners to experts. Guidelines: http://www.paddlermagazine.com/contact/writerguide.shtml

There's no point in a garden if you can't walk on the grass, no point in a flat stomach if you can't eat icecream, and there's little point in perfect prose if all readers feel is awe at its perfection. Guest editors of Pulp Net in recent months have included Helen Cross, Rajeev Balsubramanyam, Peter Hobbs, Funda Bilgic, Laura Hird, Nicola Monaghan and Alistair Gentry. Each issue features the occasional commissioned story, but each month at least two out of three short stories are selected from open submissions. To submit writing to Pulp Net, check the Live Lit page Create section, which carries details of calls for submissions both to here and to other publications. Or just send your best unpublished work. GUIDELINES: Short stories of 1,000-4,000 words can be pasted below (go to Website http://pulp.net/index.html for the form). If responding to a call for submissions on the Live Lit page, please put 'FAO editor name' in the title field.

Runner's World

PAY: $50 - $300/article Understand that most RW articles are written by staffers, senior writers or experts (podiatrists, nutritionists, etc.). In other words, it's not easy to be published in Runner's World. We have little interest in general articles on the benefits of running, fitness and the like. We may agree with your sentiments and advice, but that alone is not enough to make an article publishable. Our columns and departments offer the best opportunities for freelancers, in particular: Finish Line, Women's Running and Human Race. It's not necessary to query when contributing to these sections of the magazine; all submissions are on speculation. Because of the large number of submissions received, we cannot acknowledge receipt, and we do not send out rejection letters or return the original materials. Therefore, please keep copies of everything you send us. You will hear from us only if we are interested in publishing your materials. Guidelines: http://www.runnersworld.com/home/0,1300,1-0-0-ZCONT,00.html

Sail
PAY: up to $800
The world's largest-circulation sailing magazine. We write, edit and design for everyone who sails aboard a one-design boat or an offshore racer, aboard a daysailer on a tiny lake or a cruiser crossing great oceans and great distances. Our how-to and technical articles concentrate on the techniques of sailing, or the many aspects of naval architecture and construction, boat systems, and gear. Our features emphasize the joy and rewards of the sailing life. Many of our favorite features are simultaneously entertaining, practical and instructive. SAIL's readers want to know everything about sailing.
http://www.sailmagazine.com/SAILinfo/WrPhGd/


Sailing World

PAY: $400 for up to 2000 plus words The emphasis here is on performance sailing: keep in mind that the Sailing World readership is relatively educated about the sport. Unless you are dealing with a totally new aspect of sailing, you can and should discuss ideas on an advanced technical level; however, extensive formulae and graphs don't play well to our audience. When in doubt as to the suitability of an article or idea, submit a written query before time and energy are misdirected. (Because of the volume of queries received, editors cannot accept phone calls.) Guidelines: http://www.sailingworld.com/sw_guide.php

Scat Magazine
PAY: $200
A light-hearted monthly magazine with simple but gracious, often humorous reporting on life in New Orleans. A model of style could be the “Talk of the Town” section of the New Yorker magazine. Like the “Talk of the Town,” the point of view starts with an implied use of the royal “we,” generating a sense that the stories are coming not from “objective” reporters standing on the outside looking in but from real insiders. It also creates a unified voice for the magazine.

Seattle Magazine
PAY: $250 - $1000
Always pitch an actual story idea. Sending an email that simply lets us know you're a freelance writer available to write doesn't really tell us a lot about you, such as what you're interested in writing and how you'd write it. Actually read the magazine before you pitch. Get to know the regular columns and departments. In your pitch, explain where in the magazine you think your story would best fit. Of course, everyone thinks their story should be on the cover, but there's a whole science that goes into what we select as cover stories, which brings us to... Recognize the trend in our cover stories. Cover stories usually tend to be reader service-oriented: Best Restaurants, 10 Great Northwest Getaways, Top Docs, etc. These are the types of stories that sell more magazines on the newsstands. Pitch regional travel stories. Because people pick up Seattle Magazine to learn more about this city and the surrounding region, we rarely publish travel stories on Mexico, Europe, etc. But our readers do love to take trips within the Northwest, so we're looking for interesting regional travel stories for the upscale traveler that haven't been widely covered elsewhere in the media. We cover the geographic area between B.C. to Portland to Spokane (or a bit further east) to the coast. Know how to write newsy stories as well as the lighter stuff. The majority of our pitches are from travel and food writers, which is fine, but what we're really in need of are writers who want to write about juicy, newsy topics going on in the Seattle area. These stories would most likely run in the Hot Button department or as a feature.

Spirit Magazine

PAY: negotiated on a per-article basis Spirit targets the flying affluent, expanding their horizons with adventurous perspectives on contemporary themes. Conceived to complement the unconventional in-cabin environment of Southwest Airlines, the magazine blends energetic travel reporting with diverse, trend-charting topics from the worlds of business, technology, sports, culture, fitness/nutrition, and the arts.

We're as active as our readers, as fun as our airline, and as stimulating as our subjects. Guidelines: http://www.spiritmag.com/media/guidelines.php

Sports Spectrum
PAY: $.21/word
Although our primary focus in Sports Spectrum is evangelistic (to lead people to faith in Jesus Christ), we also must appeal to people who are already Christians. Christians should see the athletes in Sports Spectrum as people mature enough to teach them biblical principles that apply to their lives. As the athletes tell about their victories and setbacks, they should reflect a Christian world-and-life view. We want Christian readers to feel at home with the magazine, and we also want them to give the magazine to their friends who don’t know the Lord.
http://www.sportsspectrum.com/writersguide.html


Stitches
PAY: $.35/word
Almost entirely freelance-written so we welcome contributions. Naturally, articles with a medical slant are of particular interest, but we also run a lot of material that isn’t medical. The only real criterion is that it must be funny. We have used stories as short as 20 words and as long as 3,000, but definitely prefer shorter pieces (brevity being the soul of wit), so anything over 1,000 or so words would have to be exceptionally good to be accepted. We do not assign articles based on queries — much of the humour in a funny article is in the writing, so we need to see the finished product to decide if it is suitable for us.
http://www.stitchesmagazine.com/pages/guidelines.html

Full Guidelines: http://www.storytellermagazine.com/guidelines.htm


Strange Horizons
PAY: $.05/word (minimum $50)
We want good speculative fiction. If your story doesn't have a clear fantasy or science fiction element, or at least strong speculative-fiction sensibilities, it's probably not for us. We'd like to help make the field of speculative fiction more inclusive, more welcoming to both authors and readers from traditionally underrepresented groups, so we're interested in seeing stories from diverse perspectives and backgrounds. We want stories that have some literary depth but aren't boring; styles that are unusual yet readable; structures that balance inventiveness with traditional narrative. We like characters we can care about. We like settings and cultures that we don't see all the time in speculative fiction. We like stories that address political issues in complex and sensitive ways. However, we don't like heavy-handed or preachy or simplistic approaches.

Version Magazine

We are a Houston based magazine looking for freelance writers. VERSION is dedicating itself to producing high quality music, art and lifestyle coverage that is consistently ahead of the curve. Indeed, VERSION will not only report with its own spin on the news: it will create it. Its fearless, independent, and creative approach will appeal to a very powerful demographic - a stylish, ultra-modern readership with far-reaching interests and an unquenchable passion for new perspectives and new ideas. Our writers need to have a fresh, unique, and grabbing style. If it isn't new and exciting, it isn't Version. Here are some stories that we currently need writers for:

The cell phone - Cell phones have become many things. They're tools, status symbols, and a way to stay in touch in case of emergency. We're giving you the who, what, where and why of the cell phone craze, and a look at what it means for today's society.

The stereotype vs. the culture of Houston - Opening: The usual Texas stereotypes (that we're all about rodeos, rednecks, and rasslin) are in firm place around the country. With those stereotypes floating around, it's easy to forget that Houston is one of the most cultured cities in the U.S.

Rise of DJ's and scratch - A music style so original that it uses no musical instruments, the scratch style of music common in clubs today has no template in any other type of music. How was the DJ style of scratching created from, uh, scratch?

Expanding waistline clashes with media's view of women - We all know the stereotypes the media imposes upon women. There are only a handful of successful actresses who do not have the superslim supermodel body. So how ironic is it that as the famous women in our culture get smaller and smaller, the real women of the world are actually getting larger?

What do young girls do to become pro models? - How bad will good girls get to achieve a career in modeling? Does it stop at throwing up their dinner, a horrible practice in and of itself? Or can wannabe models get even more vicious and destructive?

We are also accepting any story ideas you might have.
