Here are guidelines for Turtle, Humpty Dumpty and Jack and Jill

Writers’ Guidelines

All excellent magazines and I have been published in them.

Guide Magazine

I thought Guide Magazine had been discontinued but I might be wrong. If you click on the link there is a list of themes for 2014. I had also heard it was changed to online, but now it appears it is in print. If interested, write the publisher and find out, because this has been an excellent magazine for Christian writers.

If I find them I will also post information about publications for Jewish and other religions.

For Christian writers

You might want to check this out. I have not written for this group but it looks interesting.

Spider Magazine

I just found this site by the Cricket group. Click on the link to read a sample copy of Spider. Probably this can also be done for the rest of the magazines too.

Sparkle Magazine

Sparkle is a Christian magazine for girls in grades 1-3. This website has detailed writer’s guidelines – I wish they were all this good! This is a paying market.

Spider Magazine

I have been published in most of the Cricket group magazines. These are all first class and often if you submit to one magazine, your manuscript might be accepted for another in their group. Payment lately has been very slow, but they do pay. I think even more important is having your manuscript published in such a top-rated magazine. I’ve had poetry, fiction and non-fiction accepted. It took several years of trying before my first acceptance, but the wait and effort have been worth it.

Note: Payment is in copies, but if you are interested in this market, this can give you recognition. I’m impressed with the many subjects they are interested in.
