Online Dating Magazine Writer Guidelines
If you are interested in writing for Online Dating Magazine, please read the below author guidelines and compensation methods then submit your inquiry.
Online Dating Magazine pays $15 per article for original material (known as First Serial Rights).
There are a few short requirements for writers:
1) Articles must be approved for publishing before they will be officially accepted.
2) Online Dating Magazine retains exclusive rights to all original work. While authors may link to the articles, the articles, once published by Online Dating Magazine, cannot ever be published elsewhere.
3) Online Dating Magazine retains rights to republish articles anytime in the future in any medium including, but not limited to, print, CD-ROM, partner sites, etc. While additional payments are not made for this, the author is properly credited.
4) Articles must be a minimum of 700 words in length. There is not a maximum word length.
Online Dating Magazine welcomes article contributions. Some writers are brought on board as regular columnists and feature writers. If you would like to inquire about being a regular columnist or contributor then please send at least two samples of your past writing work along with your inquiry and a detailed outline on how you can contribute to Online Dating Magazine.
Online Dating Magazine also welcomes regular review contributors who become a part of the “ODM Review Crew”. Reviewers must be able to present clear and honest opinions after a thorough analysis of the product or book being reviewed. Furthermore, reviewers can have no association whatsoever with the product or book they are reviewing. Online Dating Magazine is dedicated to presenting honest opinions free from corporate influence.
When sending an inquiry, you must state whether your article is original (never before published online, in print, or elsewhere) or whether the article has been previously published. In addition, you must indicate whether the article is already written or whether it is an article you plan to write. Links to any past material you have written (for us to review your writing abilities) is also beneficial.
Send your inquiry, including details about your article idea, to Online Dating Magazine’s publisher, Joe Tracy, via jtracy@onlinedatingmagazine.com.
