Backpacker fROM w.g.n.l
PAY: $.60 - $1/word
Our readers are knowledgeable and experienced backpackers, therefore we accept only authentic, well-researched, well-crafted stories (see the section on "Accuracy," below). We're not interested in slavish imitations of stories we've already done. As always, you should carefully study several issues of the magazine before submitting a query. The best articles have style, depth, emotional impact, and take-away value for the reader.

Green Prints From W.G.N.L
PAY: up to $100
GreenPrints lives because people like you care about gardening-and about sharing with other gardeners. We want the best, personal (key word, that) garden writing we can find. Expressive, thoughtful, humorous, angry, contrite, flippant, searching, witty, observant, sad, inviting-whatever! We focus on the human, not the how-to side of gardening. On the people as well as the plants. After all, gardening is a relationship, not a recipe. GreenPrints explores that relationship, not by instructing, preaching, or lecturing about it. Instead, we celebrate it...... by sharing the stories and experiences we all have trying (and sometimes failing) to get along with plants. I can put what we want in one word: Storytelling. Or maybe storyshowing. The most common shortcoming I see is people who forget the old high-school English-class dictum: Show, don't tell. Take us through the experiences with trenchant details and tight descriptions. Don't tell us how profound or funny or beautiful it was: make us experience the feeling.
