How do you sumbit a poem to highlights magazine?
We encourage writers to read several recent copies of Highlights before submitting work. A sample copy will be sent on request. We do not accept submissions by e-mail or fax. We pay for all material on acceptance. We buy all rights, including copyright, and do not consider previously published material. Generally we prefer to see a manuscript rather than a query. However, we will review queries regarding nonfiction. We accept material at any time of the year, including seasonal material. Each submission must include a self-addressed stamped envelope. We do not pay writers younger than sixteen years old for their work. Guidelines for young writers will be sent on request. A listing of our current needs, guidelines for illustrators, and Fiction Contest guidelines can be accessed from the “Topics” box above. VERSE, which is purchased sparingly, is rarely longer than sixteen lines and should be meaningful for young readers. Payment: $25 and up.
