Current Needs: Windows Developer's Journal mostly buys nuts-and-bolts programming articles, often built around a piece of reusable Windows-specific code that solves a specific problem of interest to many Windows programmers. Submit by sending a zipped proposal describing the basic idea of the article in a few paragraphs and provide an estimate of the number of lines of code you think the article will require (remember that space is limited and that, as a consequence, we're unlikely to publish mega-listings). There are a few do's and don't: DO – 1) Send a simple ASCII text file. 2) Provide concrete detail on the topic you're proposing. 3) Suggest why the article will be of interest to fellow developers. DON'T – 1) Submit the same proposal to multiple journals. 2) Attach the proposal as an elaborately formatted document. 3) Speak in vague generalities.
welcomes new writers
