In all cases it >is best to first *query* the publisher with a short description of your >article idea or outline of an already-written article. In your query, you >should address how your article fits in with the magazine's scope and >focus. If you are querying multiple editors, do this for each. Make sure >that you are familiar with their general magazine content enough to avoid >wasting their time with irrelevent pieces or ones that have just recently >been covered. If the entry states that the magazine has writer's >guidelines, ask the editor for those first and adhere to them. >Multiple submissions: in general, if you want to adhere to the utmost >standards of politeness, avoid multiple simultaneous submissions. >Particularly with email you generally receive a very rapid turnaround, >so that the necessity of multiple submissions is decreased. If you >absolutely must attempt simultaneous submissions, and one editor accepts >an article, immediately email to all others that you are withdrawing the >article. Explicitly noting the status of your submission as exclusive >or simultaneous is a good idea. Do not carbon copy send a single article >with no individual attention to the receiving editors. >If you learned of the email address from this source, please tell the >editor that. It will encourage the editor to maintain the capability, >spur other editors to set up their own email addresses, and in turn >help expand your own list of possible and alternative outlets for your >writing. >Electronic Submissions List >=========================== >These magazines are published monthly unless otherwise noted.
