Paying Markets And Freelance Jobs For July 12th

PAYING MARKETS

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

Bookmarks Magazine - This update was approved by Bookmarks. However, they are now telling our readers they don't need writers now. We are disappointed that Bookmarks approved the listing and are now disappointing our readers in this way.

Don Davis, Editor. 20% freelance. "Card Technology covers the worldwide market for smart cards and other advanced card technologies. This includes the use of cards in banking and financial services, mobile phones, health, government, education, computer network security and transit. Personal identification is a hot topic. As a result, we have stepped up our coverage of biometrics and other personal identification technologies." Only works with published writers. "We are continually looking for good freelancers, especially writers based outside of North America." Circ. 24K. Monthly. Pays on acceptance. Publishes ms 2-6 weeks after acceptance. Buys all rights. No reprints. Responds 1 week. Sample on request. Subscription $98 in the US and Canada; $148 other. Guidelines not available.
CURRENT NEEDS: Writers for assignments. "Before we give an assignment, we would like to see some clips of stories, preferably related to business issues." Pays $0.60/word for articles of 500-5000 words. Articles average 2000 words. Submit bio and cover letter by mail with SASE or by email.
PHOTOS/ART: "Electronic photos must be a minimum of 300 dpi." Pay is negotiable.
HINTS: "The only submitted manuscripts we publish (as opposed to assignments we give to freelancers) are opinion pieces from card industry executives. The most common mistakes they make are to 1) make the piece an advertisement for their company (we won't print it); 2) make the article too technical--most of our readers are senior management, not techies."

ePregnancy
EMAIL REC'D FROM EPREGNANCY ON 7/12/06:
Hi Angela,
I'm afraid our owners decided to cease publication as of the May 06 issue,
so we're no longer publishing. Baby Universe has purchased the rights to
publish the magazine, but it doesn't sound like they have any plans to do
that right now. They're mostly interested in keeping our website alive, so
they now own www.ePregnancy.com.
Thanks!
