It is the 1922 edition, made up from the most complete material available at the time of going to press. Changes occur constantly in the publishing world and it is always a question how we may best keep the information regarding the same up-to-date. We have decided that the most practical method will be to publish frequent new editions, and perhaps from time to time to supplement these with a list of changes to be mailed at a merely nominal cost to purchasers of the book. Lists of purchasers are always kept on file so that we may advise them when new editions or supplemen- tary lists are available. A good many years ago the publisher of this volume compiled the first edition (under the more modest title of "500 Places to Sell Manuscripts") of this manual, which later grew to be "1001 Places to Sell Manuscripts." The present volume is based upon ten previous editions. For twenty years it has been recognized as the standard guide to the literary market. In recent editions it has somewhat outgrown its origi- nal purpose. There has been, apparently, a striving in this and other similar manuals, to list a great number of publications without sufficient regard to the fact that the entire list was presumed, by the purchasers of the book, to be a known market for some class of literary material. In resuming control of this work it has been the purpose of the compilers of the present edition to place before writers a reliable list of publications that 6 THE NEW JOOl PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS buy manuscripts. We do not claim that it is absolutely complete, for there are constant changes in the publish- ing world and no list compiled today will be entirely complete tomorrow. And there are some publications which buy an occasional manuscript that are not included here, as they are not of sufficient importance to war- rant us in advising writers generally to send them contributions. Very easily, our list could have contained thousands of additional titles. But the majority of these would have been misleading to writers because they are not markets; they do not buy; and it would be contrary to the name and purpose of this work to list such. This volume is compiled for the purpose of being a direct aid to the general writer who wishes to sell manuscripts not for the one who is writing for glory and who will give his work away if he can find an editor who will print it. In this volume the list of general publications has been made full and comprehensive. Among these are the buyers of fiction both short stories and serials essays, articles (information, travel, illustrated, etc.), verse and general magazine miscellany. Special attention has been given to certain other departments which cover a wide range and use a con- siderable amount of material, such as the religious (includ- ing the religious juvenile) publications and the trade journals. The religious publications, while not as a rule paying very largely for their material, afford a market which beginning writers would do well to cultivate. The material accepted by these is not, of necessity, wholly of a religious cast, but should, of course, be of a highly moral tone. Stories, serials, household and domestic PREFACE 7 articles, articles of information, anecdotes, poetry, all are used. Often, if a writer can give the material wanted, a more or less permanent connection can be made with these journals. The trade journals constitute a literary field by them- selves. The trade to which a certain journal is devoted will indicate largely the class of material wanted. All of these, unless the columns are filled entirely by the staff, buy items of news, and descriptive articles of infor- mation pertaining to the particular trade. Most of them use stories, anecdotes and verse, having perferably some application to the trade to which the journal is devoted. Many of them use trade or business stories, for which good prices are paid. It is especially desirable that a writer should see and study carefully one or more copies of any trade journal to which he intends to offer work. Usually it would be well to correspond with the editor, to ascertain if he desires material of the specific sort which the writer can offer. Very many writers find the trade journals afford them a profitable "side line." Those who intend to follow up this work will do well to obtain a copy of Mr. Frank Far- rington's book, "Writing for the Trade Press" (Published by James Knapp Reeve, Franklin, Ohio, price $1.00), as Mr. Farrington is probably the best known and most successful man in this line of work in the country. Not so much attention had been given to the photo- play producers as some might consider desirable. Inter- ested parties have striven to create a false and erroneous impression regarding the rewards to be obtained in this field of endeavor. The fact is, that the amateur or untrained scenario writer has but a small chance of selling his wares. Most of the photoplays produced are 8 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS worked up from material already printed, are prepared by specialists to order, or are written by trained crafts- men for some special player. The best thing that the general writer can do is to write as good a story as possible, sell it to the best publication that he can, and then, if it is fortunate enough to attract the attention of a pro- ducer, arrangements can be made for the picture rights. * * * * * No publication of this sort can be absolutely correct. Changes take place daily in the publishing field. Publi- cations die; others are born. Some of the latter have but a fleeting existence. Letters suggesting additions to, or changes from the list herein given, corrections, or additional information will always be welcomed and will be promptly acknowledged. Writers have always been interested to know if a manuscript submitted to one of a number of magazines issued by a publishing company is considered for this concern's other publications. The custom in this regard varies. The Frank A. Munsey Company determines in one reading the availability of each manuscript for all of its publications, having a central reading bureau. Street and Smith maintain separate editorial depart- ments for each of their publications, so that a manuscript should be directed to the editorial department of the publication to which it seems suited. But if a manu- script, submitted to one of the Street and Smith publi- cations which proves unavailable for that magazine, seems adapted to one of the other magazines of "the house," it is referred for consideration to the editor of that magazine. Manuscripts submitted to Holland's Magazine or to Texas Farm and Ranch are considered at once for both publications. The Butterick publica- tions, Everybody's Magazine, Adventure, The Delineator PREFACE 9 and the Designer are edited by separate staffs. The Sat- urday Evening Post, The Ladies' Home Journal and the Country Gentleman, published by the Curtis Pub- lishing Company, are under the direction of different editors. The Woman's Home Companion, Collier's Weekly, The American Magazine and Farm and Fireside, controlled by the Crowell Publishing Company, are edited by separate organizations. The Century Maga- zine and St. Nicholas, though both are published by the Century Company, naturally have no editorial con- nection. Manuscripts are considered at one time for The Red Book and The Blue book, but each manuscript should be addressed to the magazine to which it seems best adapted. The Hearst Magazines, The Cosmopoli- tan, Good Housekeeping, Hearst's Magazine (formerly The World To-day), Harper's Bazar, Motor and Motor Boating, are edited separately. The Orange Judd week- lies, The Northwest Farmstead, Orange Judd Farmer, American Agriculturist, Southern Farming and New England Homestead, are edited, in the main, from the central office at Springfield, Mass., but distinctively local material should be sent to the journal which circulates hi the section of the country treated. Short Stories, The World's Work, Country Life and The Garden Magazine, which have the imprint of Doubled ay, Page and Company, are under the care of separate editorial staffs. The David C. Cook Company, of Elgin, 111., has individual editors for each of its many publications, so that manuscripts should be directed to the magazines for which intended. Most of the companies that control a number of religious publications have an editor for each publication. But a manuscript unavailable for one publication of a group, suited to another publication of the same group, usually will be referred to the proper editor. ten* t fee a kttar to ICMB* tint be we the A ttfcr it, t a of to feid In* o* i tobrioca for ktrae. If If tt ftk EB notiea IB tabfes of i- :: 12 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS has been to get a practical working manual for writers. There are more than thirty thousand newspapers and periodicals published in the United States. Several thousand of these occasionally pay some contributor for an article; but it would be misleading to list among "places to sell manuscripts" a publication that only now and then will buy an article of some particular sort. Writers would spend more money upon the postage in sending articles that could not possibly be used, than the publication would pay out for purchased material in the course of a year. Nor have we thought it worth while to include the names of publications of whose needs nothing definite can be learned by correspondence with the editors. We prefer to take it for granted that such do not care to be troubled with unsolicited manuscripts and that authors can form no profitable connection with these journals. Neither has it seemed advisable to name publications which avowedly do not pay for contributions, for this is a list of places to sell, not of places not to sell. There are other manuals that include more titles than we have given here, but there is none that will prove so practical a working guide to the writer who wishes to form profitable connections with journals of good stand- ing only.

YOUNG PUBLISHING COMPANY, 112 East 19th St., New York: Publishers of Young's Magazine, Breezy Stories. Women's and Household Publications There are not many classes of publications which afford the writer so wide an opportunity as do the Women's and Household magazines. These use the greatest variety of material, including serial stories and short stories of all lengths, articles of general interest, articles of special interest to women, articles of general information, de- scriptive and personal articles, and those devoted to fashion and dress. Many of them have departments in which they feature special lines of work. Many have juvenile departments, in which they use stories, and material of general interest and value to younger readers. Many of them pay very well indeed for acceptable work, while others, having a limited circulation or confined to a somewhat limited field, pay only moderately. It is probably more easy to secure a definite connec- tion with household journals than with almost any other class. If a writer furnished good, attractive material, such an one is very apt to be kept in mind by the editor so that other offerings will receive favorable considera- tion. The material published in one journal of this class will attract the attention of other editors, and thus a writer who shows ability to do the work needed in this field is able to broaden his scope and connection more easily than elsewhere.

RELIGIOUS PUBLICATIONS The religious press as a whole affords a considerable field for the writer. In the various adult and juvenile publications of the different churches a large amount of miscellaneous material is used; not only such as directly pertains to church and religious affairs, or that is of a distinctly religious nature, but also miscellany adapted to the church, home and family. With many publications this includes fiction, both short stories and serials. With some this fiction must be of a distinctly moral or religious nature inculcating some definite truth or lesson; with others it may be merely good, wholesome story telling. Many of the adult church publications have a juvenile department in which is used little stories for little people, articles of information told in an interesting manner, and verse for children. The majority of the publications for both young and old uses verse to some extent. While, as we have said, there is here a considerable field for the writer, it is not always a highly profitable field. Many church journals expect gratuitous contri- butions, for the good of the cause; others pay upon a definite but not very liberal scale; while a few may be ranked as really profitable markets. It is often well for a young writer to secure a con- nection with journals of this class, even though the money reward may not be very great. They secure often the advantage of editorial advice, comment and direction, 57 68 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS and have the advantage of seeing their work in print and so are enabled to get a viewpoint on their own pro- ductions which can be had in no other way. As a rule, the junior church publications and the Sunday School papers pay better prices than the journals for adult readers. An illustration of this may be found in the David C. Cook Company, which is always, not only just but generous and helpful toward all contribu- tors to their various publications.

EDUCATIONAL JOURNALS We give herewith a brief list of educational journals, the majority of which at least make some compensation for accepted manuscripts. As a rule, however, educa- tional journals have rather a limited circulation and consequently are not able to pay very liberally for mate- rial. Many of them expect contributions gratis, for "the good of the cause." In submitting work to the educational publications it should be borne in mind that everything should be of a strictly practical and informative nature, such as will help teachers in their school room work, or help solve problems of administration, etc. The exception to this is that several of them use material for the little folks in the way of very short stories, verse, playlets, etc., with which teachers in the primary grades may keep their charges interested. AMERICAN EDUCATION, Albany, New York: Monthly. (Except July and August.) A journal mainly devoted to short articles that would be directly helpful to the teacher in the school room.

Occasionally an essay that would be of special value or interest in school work. But mainly brief, practical articles relating to the every- day work of the school that may prove helpful to teachers, in all the grades. PHOTO-PLAY JOURNALS These do not furnish a very wide market for the gen- eral writer or miscellaneous contributor; much of the work used by them is of a professional or highly special- ized nature, or is material that in the nature of things can be prepared only by those acquainted with the actual work and people of the theatre and the screen. Many of the publications use personality articles with illustrative material that will help to make the readers know more intimately actors, playwriters, and others connected with the screen and the drama; and articles describing the work of production, life in the studios, and news items of happenings in the moving picture field. A few use short stories dealing preferably with the drama or moving picture life, and short stories and verse with the same angle. As we do not consider this as a whole a very profitable field for the general writer we offer the following merely as a suggestive list, and would advise a careful study of each publication before sending any manuscripts for acceptance.

Y.: Monthly. Uses the general miscellany of the stage and of the moving picture business, with short stories or little plays based upon screen or stage life. Also, poems and short articles or humor for fillers which have the same slant. PHOTO-PLAY MARKETS There is no branch of the writing craft regarding which so much misinformation has been sent broadcast, as the writing of scenarios for moving picture producers. Preposterous stories have been told, from the very first launching of screen productions, as to the prices paid for scenarios and the fortunes that were to be earned even by the unpracticed and untrained writer. The consequence has been that thousands and thousands of manuscripts indifferent, bad, and worse have been produced by writers of all grades, and by many who only thought they were writers, and thrown in volume at the heads of producers. The deluge has been so great that in many offices little attempt has been made to read these. In others a hasty and hopeless examination has been given them. Many writers have had an erroneous impression regard- ing the sort of material wanted and the form in which the script should be prepared. Ordinary, purposeless stories will not make attractive pictures. Features that are outstanding in an emotional and dramatic way are absolutely necessary to the successful moving picture. Detailed description of the setting of scenes, the appear- ance of the characters, costumes, furnishings, etc., are unnecessary. Get the story itself as plainly and briefly as possible before the scenario reader. If it appeals, the producer has all the machinery for working out the details more effectively than can be done by the writer. Comparatively few amateur or general writers can 113 114 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS produce an acceptable picture-play. Most of them are now written by salaried experts, or by writers specially selected to produce a picture for a certain actor, or they are worked up from published material. If you have a story that you think will make a play, write it out as a story in the best manner possible, and then sell it to a good publication. If it has picture value, it will probably attract the attention of some producer, and ther the rights can be sold him. It would be well for intending writers to correspond with the companies before offering manuscripts. Tell them what you have to offer very briefly and endeavor to ascertain what they want. But keep in mind that if you do not have a story that is good enough to sell to some good periodical, the chances are all against it for a picture-play. New producing concerns, and alleged buyers are start- ing up almost daily, and many writers have had unsat- isfactory experiences with these temporary people. We do not encourage writers to experiment along this line of work, for we know the results to be often most unsat- isfactory. Following is given a short list of the more reliable concerns that buy material for moving picture plays. We say "material" advisedly, for times and customs change, and few producers care now to examine the elaborately worked-out "Scenario" upon which writers not long ago were spending much hard labor. The only thing necessary in submitting a script is to tell briefly and definitely the story. If the story is there, and it can be made available, the studio experts will put it into shape. But we wish to sound a word of caution against hopes that cannot be realized. PHOTO-PLAY MARKETS 115 ALEXANDER FILM CORPORATION, 130 West 46th St., New York: Uses society dramas, but desires scenarios that show originality and that differ from the ordinary run of society picture plays.

SYNDICATES AND SYNDICATING There is a constant demand from all classes of writers for information regarding syndicates, and the possi- bilities of syndicating (and the remuneration therefrom) of all sorts of literary material fiction, articles, verse, humor. It seems at times as though writers were pos- sessed with the idea that connection with a syndicate would be the one quick and certain road to fame and fortune. A good deal of misinformation about this work has been broadcasted. Twenty years ago there were a few syndicates which purchased liberally all classes of what may be called magazine material, and built up clienteles of publications which would use a certain amount of material under contract for a certain time. Such arrangements enabled the syndicates to offer a compara- tively stable markets to writers. During recent years this work has undergone a consid- erable revolution. There are now two classes of syndi- cates with a third adjunct which will be mentioned fur- ther on. The two classes are: First: Established syndicating concerns which buy material and re-sell to newspapers, much in the old man- ner mentioned above: the class of material used has, however, been subject to much alteration. The stories now purchased are mainly very short ones 1,000 words or less; items and paragraphs of interest to women, which 119 120 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS may be put under an especial heading and made to appear as a "feature" -500 words or less; little articles upon events and topics of the day; little sermons or moral essays put into original form to catch the attention of "the man in the street;" stories for small children; rhymes and jingles. All of this material is demanded in short and compact form, preferably to occupy not more than five or six hundred words of space; and preferably so arranged that it may run in a series or as a continuing feature. Compensation is made in two ways; either by paying to the writer a percentage of the proceeds, or by direct purchase. Much of this syndicate work is especially arranged for by the managers with writers who are practiced in pro- ducing "catchy" stuff. The material used is not of the solid magazine quality that was formerly demanded. The compensation, except to well known writers is not usually very liberal. And it must be borne in mind that the expense in time, labor, postage, and stationery required for the sending out of such brief bits absorbs a large portion of the proceeds; consequently, we do not feel that this is a field greatly to attract the general writer. Second: A number of metropolitan newspapers con- duct their own syndicates in the following manner: They buy in the ordinary course of their work material for their special Saturday or Sunday magazine section. Using this themselves, they offer it also to various other news- papers with a release date to correspond with their own date of publication. The material used is practically of the same sort as that described above, but is possibly of a rather more stable quality. As a rule, writers who can make connection with one of these newspapers SYNDICATES AND SYNDICATING 121 would be apt to fare rather better than if depending upon the class of syndicates first named. There are also other branches of syndicate work. Many publishers arrange with newspapers to publish novels in serial form. These are always copyrighted work, and may be new fiction just going to press, or that just has appeared; or old fiction upon which the copy- right is still in effect. Sometimes these novels are edited or briefed for newspaper use so as to make a story of quicker action and more sensational style than in the orig- inal form. Still another branch is that where the author syndicates his own work. This may be done profitably if the writer has really good newspaper material, knows how properly to present it to editors, and has sufficient capital and perseverance to make a thorough effort. Before under- taking this, however, it would be well for the author to obtain some knowledge of how a syndicate proposition is handled, the price he should ask for his material, the field that he should attempt to cover, etc. It must be kept in mind that the majority of the syndi- cates, and of the individual newspapers as well, confine themselves largely to brief and catchy stuff intended more to attract the eye than the mind. Now having shown the difficulties in the way of syndi- cating, and having endeavored to disabuse the minds of writers of fallacies regarding this field of work, we append a brief list of syndicates, of newspapers syndicating their own material, and of individual newspapers that might be open to arrangements with the individual writer. SYNDICATES GENERAL ADAMS NEWSPAPER SERVICE, 8 West 40th St., New York: Does not purchase single articles or stories, 122 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS but uses material in series.

Uses short and serial stories, and newspaper miscellany. ASSOCIATED EDITORS, 35 North Dearborn St., Chicago, 111.: Write that they are interested in all sorts of possible newspaper features, and make a specialty of material for boys and girls of school age. Issue The Boys and Girls Newspaper every week. ASSOCIATED NEWSPAPERS, 170 Broadway, New York: Uses short fiction and small features that take up about a stickful of space.

WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION, Chicago, 111.: This concern issues a plate service for country newspapers, but does not buy unsolicited material; writers having anything to offer should correspond before sending man- uscripts. WHEELER SYNDICATE, 373 Fourth Ave., New York: Uses all classes of newspaper material, including short stories, feature and general articles, juvenile stuff, and cartoons. Does not syndicate single articles, but desires material that can be run in series. WORLD COLOR PRINTING CO., St. Louis, Mo.: Issues a complete Sunday Magazine section for news- papers, in which it uses general miscellany, including short fiction and articles, especial material for women, human interest stories and features designed to interest very small children. SYNDICATES CONDUCTED BY NEWSPAPERS Among the individual newspapers which conduct a syndicate department are the Hearst papers, which work under the name of AMERICAN WEEKLY MAGAZINE, 2 Duane St., New York. CHICAGO TRIBUNE SYNDICATE, address care of Daily News, 25 Park Place, New York) which uses the general newspaper miscellany for a magazine section, especially good short stories. 124 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS HERALD SYNDICATE, New York: The same sort of service as indicated above for the Chicago Tribune Syndicate. INQUIRER SYNDICATE, 1125 Market St., Phila.: A general service giving special attention to a children's department.. NORTH AMERICAN SYNDICATE, North Ameri- can Bldg., Philadelphia: Operates a general newspaper service. PHILADELPHIA PRESS SYNDICATE, Philadel- phia: Syndicates material used in the Sunday edition of the Philadelphia Press. PUBLIC LEDGER SYNDICATE, Independence Square, Philadelphia: Uses exceptionally good material along the above lines. WORLD SYNDICATE, Pulitzer Bldg., New York: Uses the general run of newspaper material. NEWSPAPERS: WHICH MAY BUY INDIVIDUAL OR SYNDICATED CONTRIBUTIONS Not all newspapers use syndicate material, and not all buy individual contributions. But it safely may be said that all daily newspapers in cities of fifty thousand or more inhabitants may buy material either syndicated or individual. Consequently, writers who wish to syndi- cate their own stuff have a wide field in which to operate. For their use we append herewith a list of the more prom- SYNDICATES AND SYNDICATING 125 inent newspapers of the country. We do not assert that all these buy miscellaneous contributions, but the majority of them will do so if anything is offered that they want. Writers who are offering work individually to news- papers (not attempting to syndicate it) will do well first to endeavor to form connection with papers of their own section. While the needs of these, if in comparatively small cities, will not be as great as the needs of the large metropolitan journals, it is to be remembered that they do not have so much stuff offered and so the chances for acceptance are even better. Most syndicates do not care to consider single manu- scripts or occasional contributions. Series of short arti- cles, each seldom more than 1,000 words in length, short feature material like bed-time stories, health, new-thought, or inspirational essays, cartoons, comics, etc., not less than twelve to a series, are in demand. Arrangements for most syndicate material are made in advance, so that writers having syndicate work in mind should explain their plans, sending at the same time a sample article or two. Syndicates often desire a commission arrangement, in which case the author usually receives 50 per cent, of the gross receipts. AMERICAN DAILY STANDARD, 215 W.

"In the classification Trade Press' are included all sorts of technical and business periodicals and many class journals. These cover practically all forms of manufac- turing, buying and selling essentially the field of busi- ness. There are between seven hundred and eight hundred so-called trade papers in the United States, with a large additional number in Canada, which are available as a market for the writer in either country. "There is scarcely a branch of business activity that does not have its own periodicals. The trade press covers a wide field of publishing interests not generally known to the writer devoting his attention strictly to the field of popular literature. "For the man or woman who likes to write here is a field that offers steady employment at satisfactory rates with the decided advantage for the one who has had experience in general literary work. The writer who has mastered the technique of literary construction and who is willing to go into the practical work connected with some line of business has an opportunity to become so superior a trade paper worker as to be able to reach the top in that line of work, when the same amount of effort and ability might not make him even a recognized regular contributor to a literary publication. 142 TRADE JOURNALS 143 "There is a demand here, a very real demand, for people who know how to write, who understand the business represented by the trade paper for which they want to work. "The trade press market is a great and a growing mar- ket, and offers a satisfactory return for intelligent effort and a permanent field for the writer who finds himself able to meet the demands of editors in the technical class." In the lists below no attempt has been made to cover the whole field. We give representative journals in var- ious classes with a brief indication of the material used. We wish to emphasize the fact that a writer should famil- iarize himself with the publication to which he wishes to contribute. The best success will be found by working along one definite line; preferably, of course, the line with which the writer is familiar. But a writer of ready intel- ligence and quick perception will find himself easily get- ting in touch with other lines, and thus be able to build up a wide and profitable clientele among these journals. EXPERIENCES IN WRITING FOR THE TRADE PRESS The trade paper field has been aptly termed the "liter- ary kindergarten;" nevertheless there are certain rules and regulations even in a "kindergarten" that must be learned, either through personal experience or through the experiences and mistakes of those who have, by slow degrees, passed into the "first reader" class. In writing for the trade press the first "lesson" to be learned is : Have something definite to say ! For, whether a trade paper appeals to business men in general or to some one class in particular, the editors are a unit in seeking to give their readers, not an abstract, preachy 144 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS essay on "Success In Business," but a concrete example of Bill Smith's success in clearing out his surplus refrig- erators in January to make room for his spring stock of sporting goods. A clear photograph of Bill pulling off this clever stunt lends an air of reality to the story and greatly enhances the value of the idea. Druggists, furniture dealers in fact merchants in every line look to their favorite trade papers for examples of easier, better, more profitable ways of hand- ling their business; and they want to read common-sense ideas, boiled down and told in a practical way with dollars- and-cents results. Everybody wants to be successful; everybody wants (and most folks need) to make more money; so the "how" and "why" of the other fellow's suc- cess is always in demand if only you understand your markets. In seeking entrance to the trade paper field, for either steady or part-time work, the big thing is to get a start with a few of the better class publications. Keep send- ing to them regularly each month until their editors get to know you and expect you. Writing thus with a defi- nite periodical in mind greatly increases the chances of acceptance. Do not scorn ah appointment as "representative" for a trade journal in your locality. It means more than it says. It means that your manuscripts will be considered before those of writers who are not regular contributors. Just as a grocer depends upon his regular customers to pay his rent and overhead, so does the editor prefer those regular contributors on whom he can depend. GATHERING MATERIAL The local merchants' daily newspaper ads form a pro- lific source of material for the trade press, and in fol- TRADE JOURNALS 145 lowing up these tips the alert writer is sure to unearth other good ideas for additional articles. Keep an eagle eye on the windows of the retail merchants, their store service, store arrangement, unusual side-lines, etc. The writer for the trade press would do well, also, to cultivate the acquaintance of the advertising managers in his home- town stores. Their business is to get all the free public- ity they can for their employers, and they will be glad to explain the idea back of a certain advertising campaign, together with its results financial and otherwise. Do not rush frantically into print with each small item, fearing that it may get away; experience will teach you that a half-dozen related ideas bring a much better price if grouped in one article than if sold separately. For gathering ideas, keep a number of large envelopes marked: "Grocery," "Drugs," "Hardware," "General," etc. Each day while the matter is fresh in mind, drop into the proper envelope any unusual advertisement clipped from the morning paper; or a leaf from a penny- pad on which is jotted a salesmanship idea, or some unus- ual service rendered in a store that day; in fact anything about a store that strikes you as unusual. Then when six or eight ideas or items have accumu- lated in say the "Grocer" envelope, go shopping. And as your butter and pancake-flour are being wrapped, casually ask: "Mr. S , how do you 1 ke your new dough- nut machine? You must sell around a hundred dozen each day, don't you? And do you find that it stimulates trade in other lines say coffee?" Or "Mr. W , I see you advertise motor oil. Certainly that is an unusual side-line for the grocery! How did you ever think of stocking that?" Imagine the expansive smile on the face of Mr. Grocer or Mr. Head Clerk as he relates his little successes! If he knew they were to appear later 146 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS in print he might get stage fright, so why tell him? Be merely "interested," and praise the idea in a tactful way, and the information always will come. A large, labeled envelope for each class of material keeps similar ideas together, and it is much more sat- isfactory than a general notebook, where one must search the pages for related items. It is a good idea to save the clipped newspaper ads, even after the article is written, for the editors have an uncanny way of asking for proof. AIDS TO ACCEPTANCE How can one study the trade papers to get a line on their policy when they are not on sale at news stands? Send say ten cents with a request for any back number. Then submit an article (or two or three) until one is accepted. Soon the editor will send copies, or put you on the free contributors' list. The busy editor is coming to realize that it saves his time when a contributor knows what has already been used and thus avoids the hit-and-miss submission of manuscripts. Querying the trade paper editor is an excellent idea if tactfully done, and you will find him open to suggestion if you have anything to offer. Always enclose stamped, addressed envelope and you will seldom fail to receive a courteous reply. If the editor says he is interested in the outline of the artic e suggested, send it to him with a short note referring to his approval of the outline. This note recalls the details to his mind and serves as a sort of introduction, and he probably thinks: "Yes, the outline sounded interesting. Let's see what the article has to offer." Much postage and time are saved by querying the editor in advance, and often his: "Sounds interesting. Let's have a look at it," practically means an acceptance. TRADE JOURNALS 147 Either a good camera or the services of a commercial photographer is essential in writing for the trade press, as few articles nowadays will sell without illustrations. The commercial photographer and the writer can often work together to their mutual advantage. Beware of letting your imagination run riot in for instance describing unique display racks in a certain grocery store, or a druggist's window trim that sold 1000 rolls of film in one afternoon. For the editor to whom the ideas are submitted is likely to come back with this: "We shall be glad to use your two articles, provided you can supply photographs of the devices you have described." Then what? Since imaginary things cannot be photographed, there is another sale lost. "Facts always, fancy never," is a good slogan for the trade paper writer. SIMPLIFIED ACCOUNTS Reduce your book-keeping to three simple essentials: (1) a day-book listing each day's output, with name of manuscript and name of market; (2) a small cash book that needs no explanation; and (3) a number of the cheap- est kind of eleven-inch envelopes. The envelope beats the card index system in that it includes both the card index and a receptacle for the manuscript while it is "at home." Indexed on the back and filed alphabetic- ally in a drawer you have simple but complete data in the same place with the manuscript. The envelope may be lettered on the face, near one end: "$500 A MONTH FROM SMALL SIDE-LINE" 1000 words Retd. Accep.

The occasional rare individual, like the Bentztown Bard of the Baltimore "Sun," or Walt Mason, or Guest, will go ahead and succeed in spite of advice to the contrary. Verse making as a side line for such as have talent and passion for it is another matter. Yet poetry, in any real sense, is a jealous master and demands all before granting its highest rewards. Most of the well known poets have found it necessary to have another occupation in addition to their first choice, as Longfellow held a professorship, Lowell a professor and editor, and Bryant was editor of a daily newspaper. While Kipling's verse has almost unparal- leled popularity, it is probable his income would be com- paratively scant without his prose. The prices paid by magazines and newspapers for poetry are in most instances relatively small, astonishingly so beside the remuneration for stories. Very famous poets, of course, sometimes obtain considerable sums for single poems. The verse makers who are able to syndicate their product on a large scale total good sums. On the other hand, now and then, a single poem makes a man famous and opens the way for more verses, for prose and for platform work. This was true in the instances of Strickland Gillilan with "Finnigin," of Edwin Markham with "The Man with the Hoe," and 201 202 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS of Vachol Lindsay with "General William Booth Enters Heaven." There are other satisfactions and rewards, in uttering musically what moves you deeply, and in "finding the song in the heart of a friend." As to themes, Carlyle's dictum holds true for verse as well as prose, that "any subject can bemadeinsteresting." But many subjects require a superior mind to make them interesting, or they require that some deep expe- rience of the writer shall have made the subject vital for him. Strickland Gillilan versifies largely on the family affections, one of the oldest and most common- place themes, but he writes directly out of his own heart of his feelings for his own household, and so he touches a universal chord. In general, the high class magazines use poems on universal themes, rather than current ones, and these must be treated with distinction. Lesser magazines avail themselves of both universal and timely subjects. Newspapers give more space to timely subjects, without excluding altogether those of permanent interest. In all cases, save in backwoods publications, the workman- ship must be good, if not excellent or distinguished. Poems that reveal genuine feeling for aspects of nature, and are happy in phrasing, make as wide an appeal as any. In spite of the considerable vogue of free verse, most verse writers find it safer to employ the accepted forms. Good free verse is doubly difficult to create, and has laws of its own, not always discoverable by amateurs. The markets for verse are at present by no means satisfactory. A large number of newspapers do not pay for poetry. Many of these print verse submitted through the mails without inquiring if the writer expects VERSE-MAKING 208 payment. Other noted newspapers reprint poems from other journals and add insult to injury by omitting the names of the authors, thus robbing them of their meed of reputation. Relatively few even of the great daily newspaper regularly use poems that they have paid for. Few of the religious publications remunerate the verse makers, except by a subscription. Certain of the agricultural papers use poetry and pay small sums for it. Some of the technical journals pay for verses that bear in some degree on their specialty. The better class of young peoples' papers use and pay for verses suited to their readers. Following is a list of publications that use verse. While no attempt has been made to include every possible publication, the list is sufficient to provide a market for any really good and salable poetry. Adventure. Designer. Ainslee's.

HOUSE ORGANS A field somewhat neglected by the average writer is that described in the following pages, the field of the Commercial House Organ. There is an almost endless list of these, as practically every great industrial concern, public utility company and large mercantile house issues such a publication either for distribution among its employ- ees, or for the public at large. House organs have a very definite purpose which has been summed up as follows: (1) To stimulate the morale of the working force. (2) To tell the firm's own story in its own way. (3) To humanize a great industrial plant. (4) To keep dealers posted on live issues. To cover these points they use not only practical material, that of an informative nature, but most of them use miscellany in the way of little stories, verses, jokes, etc., intended to please their readers and act as a foil to the purely business and practical articles. Their wants are as varied as would be those of an equal number of publications of general literature. The list following, with descriptive paragraphs of individual needs, is intended to be suggestive only. Added to these we give a list consisting only of the names of the journals and their publishers. It would be well for writers who wish to follow this line of work to secure and to make a careful study of as many of these journals as is possible. The majority of them pay fairly liberal rates and are prompt and courteous in their treatment of writers. 222 HOUSE ORGANS 228 AMERICAN NEWS TRADE JOURNAL, New York: Semi-monthly.

SUPPLEMENTARY LIST The following supplementary list of House Organs is not intended to be complete, but to afford a suggestion of the many diverse lines of business that engage in such publishing enterprises. It should be remembered that these publications do not as a rule confine themselves to merely practical, technical and statistical articles connected with the lines of business that they represent, but that many of them use short articles of general information, humorous sketches, jokes and other mis- cellany designed to lighten and make attractive their pages. A request for a sample copy will almost always be honored, and by studying the material used a writer can easily determine what sort of offerings would likely be acceptable.

Published by James Knapp Reeve, Franklin, Ohio.) BOOK PUBLISHERS The endeavor has been to have this a list of publishers of standing. A publishing agreement entered into with any one of the following houses will necessarily be fulfilled to the equal advantage of both author and publisher. A publisher is successful only in degree as the books he adds to his list appeal to the reading public and sell. The author who cooperates with his publisher will find that he is working side by side with a business man who is as much concerned with the literary value of his product as with the commercial. No man's judgment is certain. If a publisher fails to sell a fabulous number of one of your books do not hasten to his neighbor with the man- uscript of your next book. Better have six books in the list of one publisher than one book in each of six dif- ferent lists. Your royalties will increase by geometric progression as the number of your books in one publisher's list increases. And it looks much better. Manuscripts of books are best sent by express. It is not necessary to supply a return addressed envelope, though large, gussetted envelopes of stout paper are easily obtained. Ask that the manuscript be returned, if unaccepted, by express with charges collect. Most book publishers use all kinds of material and of all lengths. To expect a publisher to state his require- ments exactly is preposterous. "The books we must desire to issue in the future are 'good' books." This epitomizes the statements of leading publishers. It will profit writers to familiarize themselves with the output 236 BOOK PUBLISHERS 237 of different publishing houses to the end that they may know which publishers are accustomed to issue books with which the manuscript it is desired to "place" is in keeping. But it should be noted that the quality most in demand is that of novelty. A publisher often will be interested in a manuscript because he has no similar book in his list. Writers of fiction, especially those not of established reputation, often are subjected to much discouragement in their efforts to find a publisher for manuscripts of book length. There are a great number of throughly reliable houses which publish novels on royalty agree- ments; but a work that will be acceptable to one house may not at all fit into the needs of another; and the judgment of publishers as to the value of a certain work will differ widely. For instance, it is well known that one of the most successful books of recent years - David Harum was rejected by six houses. Accepted finally, it proved how fallible the judgment of even experienced publishers might be. Usually a considerable time is required for the examina- tion of a book manuscript; from three weeks to six weeks is about the shortest time in which an answer can be expected. Oftener a manuscript will be held two or three months for examination, and we have known a year to pass before a definite answer was given. When we consider that it may be necessary for a writer to offer his work to a half dozen or a dozen pub- lishers before finding the right one, and that this may entail delays covering two or three years, it is apparent that a writer should use every possible means in advance to discover whether his work is in line with the needs of the house to which it is to be submitted. This can be determined by getting the advice of some experienced 238 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS author, or by securing catalogues of the different pub- lishers and studying carefully the classes of work which they are putting out. A little time and care spent in this manner may serve to avoid long, vexatious delays. AINSWORTH CO., Chicago, 111.: Educational Pub- lishers.

We do not frequently publish books of verse and are not in position to encourage this kind of material. We are 248 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS always anxious to see the manuscripts of juveniles, whether designed for the very youngest or older readers. The ideal length is a little hard to define because some- times a bright new kind of story in its first writing might be entirely too short, or again much too verbose or wordy. As to fiction, the same policy roughly holds true. We are very glad to receive and examine manuscripts of novels, and publish a great many different types. Here again, we seldom or never feel that we can publish a novel of a controversial nature. We are very loath to fix any definite limits or restrictions on what we, as a house, would like to receive in the way of manuscripts, for sometimes the very best, newest and freshest would thus be ruled out."

"It begs to state that it accepts for examination, with a view to publication, manuscripts which in the opinion of the Council's Com- mittee on Publications of Yale University tend to advance the interest of American scholarship. This condition would practically exclude works of pure fiction. E. D. Hackett, manager, says, "We would be pleased to have publicity given to the fact that the Press is not confined to publications by Yale authors. We have published books by Harvard, Williams, Princeton, and Heidelberg graduates, and, in several instances by authors who are not graduates of any University."

GREETING CARDS, VERSES, ETC. There is a considerable market for material of this sort, and it embraces all kinds from grave to gay. The use of greeting and anniversary cards is constantly grow- ing, and most of the houses that specialize in this material treat contributors with great courtesy and pay well for the verse accepted. Many versifiers find this a more profitable field to cultivate than that of the periodicals. But remember that only short verse is wanted, usually two or four lines sometimes a little more. Buyers of greeting card verse are paying more atten- tion to the character and quality of the work than was formerly the case. Verses with halting meter, imper- fect rhymes, or verses that do not clearly express some definite thought in attractive poetic form have little chance of acceptance. Writers should keep in mind also that it is not merely the great holidays for which greeting cards are now used; but that they cover an almost endless procession of special days and events. Beginning with the first day of the year, the holidays came in regular procession until the twenty-fifth of December is reached; but in between come Birthdays, Commencements, Confirma- tions, Vacation cards, Hospital condolences, Bon Voyage cards and others. A writer who is giving attention to this work can take up a new phase of it each month in the year, and if fol- 263 264 THE NEW 1001 PLACES TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS lowed systematically and industrially, it will be found both a pleasing and profitable adjunct to other literary endeavors.
