Dawn Josephson, Editor. "North Florida Doctor is a monthly business and lifestyle magazine for physicians in the northeast Florida market. Our purpose is to recognize local physicians who have accomplished something noteworthy or who have interesting hobbies or lifestyles, while giving readers news they can use in running their practices or supporting the medical community. The flavor of the magazine is decidedly local, with multiple photos accompanying each article. Writers must be able to write for a physician audience and understand the lifestyles and attitudes prevalent within the medical community. Writing style is friendly, but with liberal use of medical terms and advanced vocabulary." 100% freelance. Welcomes new writers. Circ. 5K. Monthly. Pays on acceptance. Publishes ms 1-3 months after acceptance. Buys all rights. No reprints. Responds 1-2 weeks. Sample articles available at the website. Guidelines by email.
CURRENT NEEDS: "*Medical business - running a medical practice, employee/practice management, marketing a medical practice, etc; *Interview/profile (of local physicians) - profiles are more about the person rather than the doctor. We want to know about the unique things doctors do in their spare time. The purpose of a profile is for a reader to finish reading the piece and say, 'Hmmm. I never knew that about Dr. Smith'; *Political issues affecting physicians; *Local medical community news; *Travel; *Luxury living." Pays $0.11/word for 1500-2000 words.

PHOTOS/ART: "Several print-quality photos are needed for profiles. JPEG, TIFF, GIF. Minimum 300 dpi resolution at print size. We arrange any cover shoots."
HINTS: "This is a local magazine for local doctors. Every article, even a business-oriented one, must contain some local sources. Profile pieces must not be solely about the person's profession. They are to show interesting things about the subject - i.e. maybe the doctor has an unusual collection of rare yo-yos, perhaps she is a fencing champion, or maybe he is an award winning organic gardener. We want the story behind the story."
