PAYING MARKETS

These are NOT recycled guidelines. WritersWeekly.com only features original market listings, received from and approved by the editors at each publication.

The First Line
THIS MARKET HAS BEEN REMOVED BECAUSE THE PAY RATES ARE TOO LOW.

Just Labs, 2779 Aero Park Drive, Traverse City, MI 49686. Email: Jake -at- villagepress.com. Website: http://www.justlabsmagazine.com. Jason Smith, Editor. 25%-40% freelance. "Just Labs is geared toward owners of Labrador retrievers covering the aspects of pet and family life with America's most popular dog." Welcomes new writers. Circ 20K. Bimonthly. Pays on publication. Period between acceptance and publication varies. ìWe schedule articles at all times of the year." Buys first N.A. serial rights. No reprints. Responds to queries in 3-6 weeks; 6-8 weeks for unsolicited mss. Sample at newsstands. Subscription $23.95. Guidelines by email.
CURRENT NEEDS: See hints below. Also, more factual articles (not reflective stories of life with a particular Lab) that will help readers get the most out of their dog -- health articles, training articles, fun things people can do with their Labs, etc." Pays flat fee of $300-$400 for features of 1000-1800 words, depending on word length and photo support.
PHOTO/ART: Pays ìflat fee of $75 if purchased from someone other than author (stock); payment for feature articles include photos (no additional payment to author for photos submitted by author.)"
HINTS: "Just Labs is now accepting articles for their exclusive, subscriber-only section on the website. Same types of features as run in the magazine. Word limit maximum of 1,500 words. Pays $0.10 per word upon posting. Website content updated every couple of weeks, so will be looking for lots of content. Contact Just Labs web editor Nat Almiral at nat -at- villagepress.com. We receive lots of stories about that special Lab that is now gone -- for the most part, our readers want to learn how to enjoy their Lab right now. Though we do run one or two reflective/humorous stories per issue, these are usually taken up well in advance and are a much tougher sell. So, stay factual."
