Submission Guidelines

Submission Guidelines

PURPOSE: To include submission guidelines to magazines, anthologies, agents, e-zines, book publishers, management firms, prodcos, and anywhere else that a writer's work (be it poetry or screenplay or magazine article or whatEVER) can be submitted. I do see that most of these guidelines pertain to publishing magazine articles, however.

Telos Publishing Submission Guidelines

Telos Publishing Ltd have several ranges of titles, and we are looking for original submissions. The ranges that are open for submission are as follows: horror/dark fantasy novellas; the "Time Hunter" range of books; and our range of unofficial "guide" type books to television series and films. Publication format will vary dependent on the submission and range.Please note that these are just guidelines. Telos has on occasion published, and will continue to publish, titles which have deviated from these (for example our novella The Human Abstract is a science fiction thriller; and Alice's Journey Beyond the Moon is a children's book). But an unsolicited submission needs to be very special and distinctive for us to accept it if it does not fall within one of the ranges detailed here.We are not looking for short stories or collections of short stories, anthologies, essays or critiques, we don't publish poetry, screenplays or scripts, and we are not literary agents and don't represent authors to other publishers or provide extensive critique or feedback on manuscripts or outlines.

Writing for Family Tree Magazine

Family Tree Magazine is a general-interest consumer magazine that helps readers discover, preserve and celebrate their family's history. We cover genealogy, ethnic heritage, personal history, genealogy Web sites and software, scrapbooking, photography and photo preservation, and other ways that families connect with their past.

Articles are geared to beginners—our readers don't necessarily think of themselves as "genealogists"—but never talk down to the audience. Readers may be experts in one area of our coverage, yet novices in another. We emphasize sidebars, tips and other reader-friendly "packaging," and each article aims to provide the resources necessary to take the next step in the quest for one's personal past.

Reminisce Contributors' Guidelines

WE LIKE TO SAY that Reminisce and Reminisce EXTRA have the largest magazine staff that’s ever been assembled—over 1 million writers and photographers! Of course, we’re talking about our subscribers, who send us great personal memories and photos from their family albums.

We do not publish fiction. Instead, we want folks to tell us their true-life stories—personal reminiscences of years gone by. Published memories are edited, and in many cases, only an excerpt of the original memory is used.

Payment is a model car, there is no money.
