<title>The Personal Stories Editors Want to Publish</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="personal" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/content/archives/12/1/personalessay3.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="125" /></p>
<p>After talking with at least 60 editors for our four-part series on pitching personal essays, we&#8217;ve learned a lot about what they expect in a publishable story.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Paula-Derrow-profile.html">Paula Derrow</a></strong> from <em>Self</em> wants fresh and relatable while <em>Whole Life Times&#8217; </em><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Abigail-Lewis-profile.html">Abigail Lewis</a></strong> puts extra emphasis on humor and a tie into their L.A. home. And for <em>Shape</em>, editor <strong><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/AJ-Hanley-profile.html">A.J. Hanley</a></strong></strong> says it&#8217;s all about tone, tone, tone.</p>
<p>Our latest installment adds 15 more magazines that are gunning for a first-person narrative. Find out what these editors and others crave in the pitch in <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/articles/cache/a10587.asp">Personal Essay Markets, Part  III</a>. [<em>sub req'd</em>]</p>

<title>The Times Wants Your Personal Essays</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="personal part ii" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/content/archives/09/07/14/personalessay2.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="205" /></p>
<p>If the <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/articles/cache/a10009.asp">first</a> 15 outlets weren&#8217;t enough, here are the next batch of titles hungry for your honest stories, including the Gray Lady &#8212; where everyone has an equal shot at this &#8220;human relationships&#8221; column.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t rip out those diary pages just yet. Editors shared the nitty-gritty details on what they want to see in a pitch. While they varied on topics from parenting to food, they all require a clean, tight copy set to their own preferences.</p>
<p>Double-check the word count limit to <em>Ladies&#8217; Home Journal</em>, confirm what <em>Saveur</em> always runs their essays with, and find out what the <em>Times</em> receive &#8220;far too many essays&#8221; on in <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/articles/cache/a10022.asp">Personal Essay Markets, Part II</a> <em>[sub req'd].</em></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll finish off our list with Part III, and stay tuned for an updated guide to digital outlets in our final Part IV.</p>
