Submission Deadlines are always the 1st of the month preceeding the month of publication -- see our calendar for details.
General Guidelines
Want to have your writing published in the PPW NewsMagazine? Our staff is always looking for well-written articles of interest to writers of commercial fiction. Please review past copies to find whether your idea is unique, or to determine a new slant to an old subject. We do not accept fiction or poetry. Articles are typically eight hundred to nine hundred words in length, but shorter articles are welcome and we consider longer articles. Editors follow the Chicago Style Manual's suggestions for commas, etc., and love writers who send printer-ready copy...or we would if it ever happened.
