If we accept an article that we think may be delayed in getting published, we will pay on acceptance. If you accompany an article with photos, the fee we negotiate with you will include payment for them. Perferred form is glossy, professional quality 5x7 or 8x10 prints. We encourage the submission of photos of children of different ethnicities, abilities and ages. We require written parental permission for any child whose face is identifiable in a photo, as well as model releases for similarly identifiable adults.
Slides accompanied by prints or color photocopies are preferred.
Model releases are required. Photos showing professional models are seldom used and require special arrangements. We have occasionally used illustrations on our cover and have also used free-lance illustrators for special assignments, although these instances are rare. If you feel your work is especially appropriate for Parents' Press, please submit samples to Ann Skram. No expenses are paid for articles submitted on spec.
