Thank you for your interest in Colorado Parent. The following information is offered as editorial guidelines for 1999-2000. We are always on the lookout for new talent. As we are a local parenting publication, we prefer to use writers based in Colorado. Features must be written with a local slant in mind and sidebars must be provided with local information and numbers.
Sidebars are a plus to any feature stories.
Material is aimed at parents with children 12 years and under. While we are open to reading unsolicited work, most of our feature article ideas are conceived in-house and assigned to writers. Colorado Parent purchases all rights to articles that run in our publications, including the rights to use your piece on one of the family-oriented web sights to which we are affiliated. Colorado Parent's Writer's Contract outlines all agreement details and must be signed and returned by author. Kill fees are only paid on commissioned articles and then, only if previously agreed to.
