First, Check Out
The Articles And
Editorials Online At HuntingNet.com.
Study the articles we already have posted on our site. You will find a mixture
of topics for both the hunter and non-hunter alike. HuntingNet.Com houses a
variety of sites including Turkeyhunting.com, Waterfowlhunting.com,
Deerhunting.com and Sportingdog.com. Look at the sites, see what we have and
look for what we may be missing- chose areas where you are most knowledgeable
to create topics and angles for stories. From time to time, we will also be
looking for writers to assign specific stories. A resume or a brief description
of yourself should be included in your submission. This will assist us in
selecting writers when necessary.
Submission
Of Articles Or Editorials To HuntingNet.Com
• Before submitting your article,
please use our search feature to make sure we don't already have a similar
article on the site. If you have been published, please provide us with a list
of publication credentials and samples of reprintable articles if appropriate.
If you are an established writer and have tear sheets showing published
articles and support photography, you may send a query letter to the attention
of the HuntingNet.Com Editor. If you do not have ready access to tear sheets
and have been published, you may provide a brief description of credentials
and/or links to sites featuring your work. Membership in professional outdoor
writer organizations will also be considered. Queries should provide adequate
information to demonstrate your ability to furnish quality articles and
supporting photography in a timely manner. Original photographs do not need to
be included in the initial query of established writers. These photographs must
be included in at the time of article submission, however, or HuntingNet.Com
will not be bound to any prior agreements to print or pay for the article (kill
fees included).
• Include a title and subhead (i.e.
Duck Hunting Manitoba: The Duck Hunt Of My Dreams).
• Give a short description of what your article covers. This only needs to be one or two short paragraphs and can be included with your bio/resume and cover letter.
• If there is a seasonal hook to
your article that we might overlook here at HuntingNet.Com, point it out to us.
• Include sharp, crisp images with
your article or editorial. We will take quality slides or prints that support
the content of your submission. Four to six photographs should be submitted
with each article. Captions must be provided with all photo submissions. Please
remember to include a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) for the return of
all items. HuntingNet.Com will not be responsible for materials sent without a
SASE.
• If your article is more
appropriately accompanied by illustrations, make sure they are of high quality
and appropriate for a range of ages and our audience here at HuntingNet.Com.
• Articles and editorials should
be the word length of 750 to 1500 maximum. We require a double-spaced, typed
printed version as well as a Microsoft Word PC Word formatted version on disk
included.
