Thank you so much for including Christian opportunities. Most of the work I’ve done over the years; weekly columns, articles, etc were Christian publications so I’m very comfortably at home in the genre. I’ll still keep learning to find work in the secular world as well, but I love the comfort and confidence of familiarity.

I’d appreciate Christian magazines, anything geared towards African Americans (women), poetry, race relations, or the greeting card market.

Thanks for allowing us to have an input!!!

Computers, Internet, or Technology (Sorry I couldn’t pick just one specific theme to suggest from my favorites). Love the list anyway with the current topics. It makes me want to think about moving out my ten-year niche for a change of pace. Thank you!

A third vote for health and wellness; That’s my niche.

Another vote for health/wellness, and I’m always on the lookout for more food or green living magazines.

….I forgot to say I appreciate the Christian/religious markets as well, just as you have included in this post!

Thanks for these, Jodee.

I certainly enjoy looking over the print markets out there. I always appreciate learning about publications that want creative nonfiction/personal essays, political commentary (humor included), or magazines that focus on education/schools.

Is it possible to find some that are newbie friendly? I have been writing for many years but I do not have “clips” to send and many magazines request them. I am still surprised at how many editors require snail-mail queries. (I am not referring to these leads, just magazines in general) I am okay if they want email since I can send links to my work, but links are hard to send through the mail.

The one for Mothering Magazine looks promising. Maybe I’ll get brave and send a query.

As always, thanks for your great work Jodee! I sure appreciate you.

Hi Jodee, I think a variety of sources works well because all of us have varied writing backgrounds and interests. I like what you’re doing with the MM; very helpful.

I’d appreciate travel options as well. Also, health and wellness.
Thanks. These are great.

Great list. Thanks. Travel and/or tourism is a field with lots of writing opps – I used to be writer for one company before we moved.
