How to Pitch: Oxford American

As long as the writing’s as good as Southern sweet tea, Oxford American has room for stories ranging from fried green tomatos to Confederate war stories. What to pitch: The editors are looking for thoughtful, well-written pieces exploring Southern culture, landmarks, literature, and so on. What not to pitch: Read the magazine and know that you’re pitching to and writing for literate Southern types. Their stylistic tastes might be ranging, but the magazine’s focus is steady and clear. Etiquette: Send a query and clips by mail. More details here.
