Country
Woman
PAY: $50 - $600
Country Woman is a 68-page, full-color, bimonthly magazine for
women who live in or long for the country. It is a positive,
upbeat, entertaining and informative publication. The publication
reflects the many interests and roles of its readers through
short, photo-illustrated profiles of rural women doing interesting
things, be it having a special hobby or avocation, running a
rural-based business, or engaging in a special volunteer activity.
Every issue features a large food section filled with mouth-watering
recipes for today’s country cooks. The heart of the food
section is the recipe contest, with the winning recipes printed
on recipe cards. There are also ideas for easy country decorating,
casual entertaining, crafts, gardening, fiction, puzzles and
nostalgic photos and reader remembrances. The publication also
includes informative articles on health and lifestyles with
country women in mind. It includes a reader-written “Everyday
Miracles” section and advice column. Reading this interesting
and heart-warming and magazine has been described as being like
“sitting down for a cup of coffee with a good friend.”

By
PAY: $500 - $3000
The magazine of the Writers Guild of America, West, serving
its 10,000 members with stories that celebrate Hollywood’s
storytellers. We are interested in stories that profile established,
working film and television writers and the stories they craft
with such art and intelligence that they influence America and
the world. We are an insider’s magazine for our insider
readers. We are not interested in stories about directors, actors,
cinematographers, etc. We want bite, bias, solid reasoning,
unknown but relevant facts, and good writing. We address our
readers as intelligent, sophisticated, and curious people. Each
month we reach about 34,000 people–highly educated professional
men and women between the ages of 35 and 54. We assign approximately
75 percent of the stories each month to freelance writers within
the entertainment industry, either as a film/television writer
or a journalist covering film/television writers for the major-market
newspapers. Staff writes the remainder. We hire experienced
writers because they know the industry, the craft, and our audience.

Trazzler
PAY: varies
Trazzler helps would-be travelers answer the question “Where
should I go?” Trazzlers meander through a world of trips—hand-picked,
concise, compellingly written slices of life that pull the reader
into a real experience: a hotel stay, walk, adventure, spa,
restaurant, ice cream stand, pony ride... really anywhere that
travel can take you. And that’s where you come in. Each
Trazzler trip is dominated by a photo that sets the scene so
that your writing can tell the rest of the story. Our travel-writing
philosophy is different from anything else out there, so be
sure to study our writing guide and ramble through our editor's
favorites before creating your first trips. Extra points if
you nail our signature style, don’t require a lot of editing,
find an area or special angle that we would have to be crazy
not to cover, or, best of all, make us forget about our mundane
lives and take us to a place that we’ve never been before.
I’m sure we
don’t have to tell you this, but no shilling, plagiarizing,
or writing about places you’ve never been, okay?
