Description of Publication:
10%-25% freelance. Newsletter targeted to the serious part-time or full-time freelance writer/editor and book author. Provides market news and information to help build more profitable editorial businesses. Rarely works with new writers, because we use successful writers' tips and experience. This must come from experienced writers. Circ. 500. Monthly. Pays on publication, Check is sent with copy of the issue, usually by the first of the month of issue. Period between acceptance and publication varies. We do not use jumps and use outside material to fill in the 'holes' after putting in the market news and other in-house columns, so the length of a piece has as much to do with when it is used as how long it's been here. The shorter the item, the faster we can use it, usually, because it gives us more flexibility as to where we can use it. Buys one-time rights. Accepts reprints. Responds to email queries within hours; mailed queries within 1-2 days. Sample by mail with SASE (2 ounces) or download the pdf version at http://www.writers-editors.com/Writers/Membership/Writer_Guidelines/writer_guidelines.htm Subscription $39; $47 Canada & Mexico; $54 other.
