About our Rates
Please note: These rates refer to manuscripts that are double-spaced, with 1—1.25" margins all around in twelve-point serif type. As a general rule, a typical manuscript has approximately 250 words per page.

Please do not use Times New Roman. Palatino, Bookman, New Century or other similar font is preferred. Please note that as of 2009, we've changed to electronic submissions of work, which is more economical and better for the environment. Thanks!
