This is how I'm feeling this morning and was feeling last night. I think I've been studying and writing too much. I'll take it easy today and read, (about Creative Non-fiction) of course!
Here are some tips for contributing creative nonfiction to magazines:
- Read the guidelines: Always follow the magazine's guidelines for length, format, topic, and more.
- Format: Use a standard serif font like Times or Garamond, double space, and use 11 or 12 point type. Include page numbers.
- Proofread: Proofread your work and have someone else proofread it too.
- Cover letter: Include a cover letter with your submission. Keep it short and professional, and focus on the creative work.
- Include extra ideas: Consider including an extra idea or two at the end of your query.
- Research: Research what the publisher wants in advance.
- Be aware of submission restrictions: Some magazines may have restrictions on the number of submissions you can make, or when you can submit.
