Thus, our readers deserve writing that is intelligent, well researched, and thought provoking. We trust our readers to make up their own minds.
Queries are simply short idea proposals.
Essays, poetry, fiction and art are an exception to this rule, but for all other genres, please send a query. Query Format Please send a well thought-out idea, including prospective interviews or research sources. One or two paragraphs should be plenty. If you are sending your completed piece, as in the case of poetry or fiction for example, please be sure it is your final draft. We've run pieces from lots of first time writers, so don't be too intimidated by this.
