I’m over at Literary Mama as the commentary editor. I must be insane because I have no time and things are picking up on the job front (my job demands go up and down and currently they’re up). But I thought this would be fun. Anyway, here are the submission guidelines for commentary editor:
We are looking for sharply focused, compelling, provocative, and persuasive personal essays in which the author expresses her views on a specific topic or topics. Humor, angst, righteous indignation, social/political analysis, and thoughtful musings all have a place in our published commentary.Points of view can range from highly personal to global. While the essays may draw on outside sources to make their case, they should be written in the first person and shouldn’t read like a reported feature or straight journalistic piece. If it looks like a column, it belongs here. We welcome submissions of 750 – 2000 words on all topics related to motherhood.
Send submissions to commentary@literarymama.com
Here’s what I have to add: Literary Mama doesn’t pay, sadly, but it’s getting some press so I think it makes a nice clip. Also, I want to add that I personally think that for online articles, which will end up being all on one page, 2000 words is an awful lot of scrolling. I think a tighter, more focused submission is the way to go. (It’s different in venues where they break the pieces up into pages.) If you’d like to submit something, let me know at that there address in the fancy colored font previous. I think I’m going to try to update that part of the site about twice a month.
