It should go without saying that any work you wish to submit should be the best it can possibly be before you consider sending it. Photos that need "fixing" or writing that needs a great deal of editing or revisions are not likely to be considered. With that being said, below are some guidelines to help you prepare your work.
Writers:
Option #1. You may copy and paste your work into an e-mail to our online editor. Please don’t send multiple submissions in the same e-mail; if you want to submit more than one item, make a separate e-mail for each one. Don’t send file attachments unless we request them. Unsolicited e-mail with attachments will be deleted from the mailbox without being opened.
Option #2. You may mail us your work through the post office. Please include a SASE for return shipping. You may send a paper copy, CD or floppy disk. If you’re sending CD or floppy disk, your files should be compatible with MSWord, Notepad or Wordpad. Don’t send your only copy, as we can’t be responsible for loss or damage due to shipping.
In either case, if you prefer to query first, that’s fine; we’ll respond as soon as possible.
One other note: we're not fanatical about double-spacing and margins, but we do prefer that you not send us work written out in longhand. Type it or print it out before you send it. Deciphering your handwriting is not part of the selection process. Talented as you may be, we're likely to move on to someone's work that we can read.
Artists:
Option #1. Use an image storage service to upload a file of your image. Copy and paste the code into an e-mail to our online editor. You may copy and paste several image URLs into one
e-mail; it’s not necessary to make a separate e-mail for each one. Don’t send file attachments unless we request them. Unsolicited e-mail with attachments will be deleted from the mailbox without being opened.
Option #2. You may mail us a copy of your work through the post office. Please include a SASE for return shipping. You may send a paper copy (i.e., photo print, laser copy, etc.), CD or floppy disk. If you’re sending a paper copy, use suitable mailing materials (e.g., stiff cardboard mailer); plain envelopes simply marked “Photos – Do Not Bend” won’t
make it to us in any condition to be properly evaluated. If you’re sending CD or floppy, your files should be BMP, JPG, PNG or TIF format. Don’t send your original or your only copy, as we can’t be responsible for loss or damage due
to shipping.
In either case, if you prefer to query first, that’s fine; we’ll respond as soon as possible.
Photographers:
Before submitting, make sure you have your paperwork in order. If you’re sending us photos that include a person as the subject, you’ll need to send us a copy of the signed modeling release.
