Circ. 8500. 9 issues/year. Pays on publication. Period between acceptance and publication "varies a lot, but is usually at least six-eight months later, because an entire year is planned in advance at one time. It's the reason for the six-week submission window." Buys "first North American serial rights for a very limited time. Depending on the month of publication, it ranges from six months to about a year." Accepts reprints, "as long as the date of previous publication and readerships are widely separate. I try to acknowledge receipt at once. Outside of the submission window May 15 to July 1, there may a long delay. During the submission period, as soon as possible. I try to do it within a month." Sample $5. Subscription $19. Guidelines by mail with SASE and online at http://www.heartlandboating.com/writers.htm. If requesting sample copy with guidelines, send large SASE with $2.07 in postage.

PHOTOS/ART: "Ideally, photos accompany stories and are part of the package we negotiate for. Ask for photo guidelines." No additional pay. "We also do photo layouts, with minimal wordage."
HINTS: "Please read the magazine first! I'd say 60 percent of unsolicited mss deal with subjects outside of our geographic area and must automatically be rejected for that reason."
