Women's and Household Periodicals,

Philanthropic and Humane Publications

This list comprises the second most valuable outlet for general writers. There is, of course, some specialization in material, especially in non-fiction, and sample copies of the publication to which the writer expects to contribute should be obtained when planning work for any specified market. Where periodicals have not supplied definite information, this probably means a restricted but not necessarily a closed market. In general, the more limited the field the rarer that story which “just suits."

Some of the smaller magazines in the charitable wing of this list receive much contributed material on a gratis basis. When sending to these publications a manuscript for which payment is expected, a brief statement should be made to that effect.

Almost all of the great daily and Sunday newspapers buy material for their women's and household departments, but the greater part is supplied either by syndicates or by members of the local staff. It is in every case advisable to study the contents of several issues of a newspaper before offering material. In no field is the exercise of judgment more necessary than in the newspaper field. Keep a copy of your manuscript, as newspapers are not usually so careful in preserving and returning manuscript as are the magazines. A few of the more likely newspaper markets for household material are listed below:

AMERICAN, Boston, Mass.; CALL, San Francisco, Calif.; CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, Boston, Mass.; DAILY NEWS, Chicago, Ill.; EVENING BULLETIN, Philadelphia, Penn.; EVENING LEDGER, Philadelphia, Penn.; EXAMINER, Chicago, Ill.; HERALD, Chicago, Ill.; HERALD, New York City; INQUIRER, Philadelphia, Penn.; POST, Boston, Mass.; PUBLIC LEDGER, Philadelphia, Penn.; RECORD, Philadelphia, Penn.; SUN, New York City; TIMES, New York City; TRANSCRIPT, Boston, Mass.; TRIBUNE, Chicago, Ill.; WORLD, New York City. (See also under Newspapers and Newspaper Syndicates.)

The tone of the household magazines is marked by idealism and helpfulness blended. The wholesome, unsophisticated love story, often presenting (and satisfactorily solving) some common problem of home life, has been developed to a high degree of workmanship. But nonfiction is even more in demand. Short sermonettes that are sound and sensible on all the relationships of life, practical articles on housebuilding, interior decoration, rugs, gardens, domestic science, etc., very brief experience items referring to sewing, care of pets, short-cuts, economies, church activities, and a hundred similar subjects are always acceptable.

AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 315 Fourth Avenue, New York. Weekly; per copy, 5c.; per year, $1.00. Literary and household material for this publication should be sent to Springfield, Mass. Miss A. O. Goessling, Household Editor, gives us the following statement: "Besides 200 to 500-word experience items from women engaged in farm homemaking, which are always acceptable if not conflicting with material already on hand, short-stories of 1500 to 3000 words are used, wholesome and happy, not necessarily with a rural setting, and usually with a love interest.
