| cherylaricci | Posted – 9/20/2007 4:08:15 PM | show profile | email poster Hi all, I've tried many places and hoping someone can help me figure out a good place to pitch a personal essay I wrote a few years ago but was well-received in my class. It's about my visit to the Holocaust Museum a few months after finishing a thesis on a Holocaust-related topic. It's about the profound effect the visit had on me, while also closing that chapter of my life. It's both a travel essay but personal journey. I haven't had luck with any place I have submitted it so far, so if anyone has an idea, please let me know! |

It may not be the same as you remembered and it's not good to pass off old pieces as being recent. And no editor is going to buy a dated piece. So you will have to rework it and rewrite/revise it. As for a "market," you should read more travel sections to see who buys essays and who doesn't. ------ http://www.mswritesguide.blogspot.com |
