Unfortunately, they only take submissions from agents. But hey, Jason, if you have one go for your life. Two thumbs up! Camille >> Hey...I never heard that :) Here are some addresses tho... For the New Yorker, there's nothing said in the Writer's Market about only accepting from Agents. I'd just bet you have a better chance through an agent. BUT, it does say to send your piece to the appropriate editor -- Fact, Fiction or Poetry -- and to this address: 20 W. 43rd St. New York, NY 10036-7441 (212) 536-5400 I'd also try Story Magazine -- that's just as reputable as the New Yorker even though the circulation is much smaller. Story F&W Publications, Inc. 1507 Dana Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45207-1005 Send a #10 SASE for writers guidelines to that address. good luck :) Jim
