Hints:

“Writers have a better chance of breaking into our publication with a query letter on a specific article they want to write. “Cadenza” submissions – witty commentaries, send-ups, poems, sketches, comics, cartoons, etc. – should be approximately 350 words (text) or fit on a 6-by-9-inch page (art). Potential contributors are advised to have a solid familiarity with The Horn Book Magazine before submitting manuscripts. The magazine does not publish fiction, nor does it publish work by children.”
