The Process
When you send an article for consideration, please include a short bio of yourself, as well as low-resolution photos. Please note that all submissions accepted for publication are subject to editing and will be reformatted to fit the magazine's standard design and layout style.

You can expect a response to your submission within 6 to 8 weeks. Please do not follow up with us before that.

Finally, at this time, a byline is payment for material published. Stick with us, though, and you should see some cash for your accepted work.

Copyright:
Please note: If your article is selected for publication, you will need to wait one year after publication in Empty Nest to publish it elsewhere. THEN, you will need to publish it with the credit line "(First published in Empty Nest: A Magazine for Mature Families, www.emptynestmag.com, volume/number)."

Thanks for your interest in Empty Nest...
