I don’t do a lot of children’s fiction on this site, which I consider a glaring omission on my part. Especially this particular market. It’s popular, high paying, and my kids used to have a subscription that they devoured every month without fail. It almost makes up for the fact that they don’t accept e-mail submissions. That’s right, you’ve actually got to do the whole send it in the mail with a s.a.s.e and all that.
Genre- children’s fiction and puzzles. They often do different themes, so be sure to check the full guidelines here, which you really should do anyway.
Word count- Varies by type of submission, 500 for smaller readers and 800 for more advanced, as the magazine caters to both.
Sub date- They take submissions all year round.
Wait time- Non specified, but as you’ll be doing all this the old fashioned way, be prepared for at least six weeks.
Payout- $150 for short fiction.
Any luck with this market? Let is know in the comments below, and I’ll put you on our monthly brag board.
