Here are the things to consider when you're writing an article for Vision:
Read the guidelines (below) and follow them. If you have a question about the guidelines, email me at vision@lazette.net and ask.
Don't write an article and send it off without proofing. In fact, read it more than once. Let it sit for a day or two, even if you are running late. I would rather have a well-edited late article than a messy one sent on time.
I want anything that has to do with writing, from how you think up a story to finding a proper pen. If you love writing and have anything at all that you can offer to other writers, consider writing 500-2000 words for one of the upcoming issues. I am interested in all facets of writing, from first-person experience articles to genre-specific how-to’s and informational articles about your area of specialization – whether that be history or science or nursing or long-distance running – and how and where your specialty can be used correctly by writers. Write something that will help other writers, and I'll be interested in taking a look.
Do you have favorite writing-related books or web sites that you think could help fellow authors? Consider writing a short review of them.
Did I mention reading the guidelines?
Writing for Vision is a lot easier than most people assume, and a few of our writers have gone on to sell material they first published in Vision, or to use the 'sale' as part of a resume to get a job at some other publication.
So, let's work together and get the next issues done.
Oh, and do go read the guidelines...
Starting in 2004. Vision began paying half a cent per word for articles. That's not much money, and I'm going to be asking a lot for that half cent -- both ezine rights as well as the right to publish anything we choose in a POD 'Best of' Anthology at the end of the year. By printing the anthology, we hope to make back the funds that I will be putting into Vision to buy the articles and perhaps even make enough to fund the following year's article acquisitions.
I will be limiting the number of articles bought, and 2000 words ($10) will be the cut off point for payment. All the other guidelines remain the same. I will be looking for articles on theme-related, general writing and genre topics. If you have some suggestion that you think might help another writer, consider writing it into an article and submitting it to Vision.
We strive to maintain professional standards. Manuscripts must be professionally formatted, as free from spelling and grammatical errors as you can make them, and in what you perceive to be final draft form. We will not welcome massive rewrites of a piece after we have accepted it – when we accept it, we consider it pretty close to finished, and will only edit it to our standards. If we feel that it need massive rewrites, we won’t accept it.
If you have any questions, or wish to query about an article, email Vision@lazette.net
Please note that Margaret Fisk is now the Features' Editor and will handle all the review articles.
