If specific photos will be essential to your manuscript, tell us what photos are available to accompany your article.

We DO NOT accept multiple submissions of articles (articles offered to more than one publication) except in rare circumstances. Please let us know if an article has been previously published or offered to another magazine when you submit it.
If published, we may be able to include a short author biography (approx. 50 words), a link to your website, books, or any social media pages you would like us to link to (optional) in the “About the Author” section of the article.
