Blue Mountain Arts, Inc., Attn: Editorial Department, P.O. Box 1007, Boulder, CO 80306. Email: editorial-at-sps.com. Website: http://www.sps.com. All submissions should be addressed to "Editorial Department." "Blue Mountain Arts has published greeting cards and gift books for over 35 years. The majority of our products have uplifting messages with a positive theme. Our greeting cards are known for bringing people together with heartfelt messages and sentiments." Welcomes new writers. Pays on acceptance. Period between acceptance and publication varies depending on the product, but is usually within "a few months." Buys "exclusive rights for all greeting cards. If a work is used only in an anthology, the writer keeps the copyright." No reprints. Responds 2-4 months. ""Our greeting cards and books are widely available at gift stores and bookshops around the country. Our books can also be purchased online at Amazon or Barnes and Noble." Guidelines online at http://www.sps.com/greetingcards/index.htm, by email, or by mail with SASE.
CURRENT NEEDS: "We are looking for highly original greeting card submissions.

Payment for book proposals is negotiable. "Greeting card submissions should be typewritten, one poem per page, and your name should appear on each page.

If submitting several poems by email, please send them all in one email. See poetry contest guidelines at http://www.sps.com/k/poetry/contest.htm.

PHOTOS/ART: "We do not accept freelance artwork or photography."
HINTS: "Please take note that the majority of the material we publish does not rhyme. Don't be too specific when writing greeting cards, as it will limit the audience. Try to add original details that make a card sound unique, yet are universally shared. It can often help to have someone in mind when writing (a friend, relative, etc.). Become familiar with our products, but then try to submit something that is different from them in some way. We are focusing on finding new voices and new, creative ways of writing and expressing emotion."

Central Florida Doctor, 13500 Sutton Park Drive South, Suite 105, Jacksonville, FL 32224. P(904)992-9945. F(904)992-9907. Email: editor-at-beson4.com. Website: http://www.beson4media.com. Dawn Josephson, Editor. "Central Florida Doctor is a monthly business and lifestyle magazine for physicians in the Central 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. 7K. Monthly. Pays on acceptance. Publishes ms 1-3 months. Buys all rights. No reprints. Responds 1-2 weeks. Sample copies 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. Submit query by email or phone.
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 subjectói.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.
