Pay: Pays flat fee of $25 per published page. Roughly 2000-2500 words is a decent article length.
Hints: Normally, most articles are rejected if the photos are simply not good enough. The other problem is when the wrong type of article is submitted. Writers should be themselves and try not to preach. This can be difficult when presenting a 'how-to' article. They should write in such a way as to include the reader. Ultimately, if the writer is having fun with their project, that will come across to the reader. Don't try to sound like a scholar.
Photos/Art: Quality color photos or slides. Digital photos may also be submitted but the resolution needs to be 300 dpi. 72 dpi will NOT work for printed material! Payment is inclusive with article.
