accepted on rare occasions, but good, tightly written 500-1000 
word pieces have a better chance of being bought. How-to-sell to 
specific markets, interviews with successful writers, new ways to 
make money as a writer, are some of the themes we want. If you 
have some information that will help writers earn more, we're 
interested in looking at your idea or article. We pay! Payment: 
$15 for articles, $25 for solicited articles.

Reprints: We will consider articles that have appeared in print 
publications. We do not reprint articles that were first 
published on the Internet. Let us know when and where it was 
published. We pay $10 for reprints. 

SPECIAL FEATURE Subject: How I Made My First Sale. (This is the 
subject... give your article an original title.) Length: 500-1000 
wds. Tell the story of your first sale (the one that you received 
a check). The reader should gain some benefit from your 
experience (bad or good).
