Excellent Freelance Opportunity

Parents' Press is a monthly newspaper for parents and expectant parents in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have a circulation of over 75,000 which is made up mostly of parents with children of all ages – from infant through teens and so on.
Another awesome thing about writing for Parents Press is that they actually prefer to work with non-published authors! This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to break into the writing world.

Parent Press pays on two different levels. First, if you give them exclusive rights to your work you can score between $100 - $500+ for a single article! Exclusive rights means that you won’t sell it to any other paper, website or individual. Basically it’s theirs, period.
OR, you can decide to keep partial rights to your work and republish it as much as you want and make substantially less. A non-exclusive article will get you between $25 - $50 depending on your topic.

So lets say you want to submit a piece of work to them, here’s how it can be done:

Be sure to include word count, what rights are available, and anywhere else the article has been submitted or published.

Submit Your Work By mail:

Dixie Jordan, Editor
Parents' Press
1454 Sixth St.
Berkeley, CA 94710

Include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you want your manuscript returned, or your query answered. Submissions on disk in MacIntosh format only, please.

By e-mail:

ParentsPrs@aol.com

Please include the word "Query" or "Submission" and a very brief description in your subject line. NO ATTACHMENTS, NO MICROSOFT WORD (.doc) FORMATS. Manuscript must be included in the body of the e-mail, in plain text (not HTML)

Once you have submitted your article(s) expect to wait up to two months for a response. They do generally get back to you much sooner, but sometimes they have an excess of submissions to go through.
