| Newsy | Posted – 4/1/2008 9:07:12 AM | show profile I've seen a lot of post here about men's mags accepting essays, but all the ones I've queried said they don't accept them. Can someone give me a list?? |

Rather than query blindly, go to a good book or magazine store, spend some time and study the markets. You need to do that anyway to get a sense of their style and what they use. |

However, they generally don't have an essay "slot" they need to fill and don't officially take essays. Also, it depends on what you mean by essay, which can be a very broad term from slice-of-life pieces, to humor pieces, to heavily reported long articles with a personal slant. Some magazines are more likely to take one type of essay than another. |
