Photos/Art:

“None required, but it helps if you tell us of sources we can find photos/art if it’s a history piece. Payment depends, usually our staff shoots the pics, although we have been known to purchase a writers photos.”

Hints:

Common mistakes – “1) They don’t read Rural Missouri to see the style/tone we like stories to be in. KNOW US before submitting stories. 2) Remember, we’re swamped on this end so it will probably truly take 8 weeks before you hear from us. 3) Submission will not be returned; keep a copy! 3) DO NOT submit a first-person account to us. Nuff said.”
