Max length 3000 words. Submit by e-mail (Microsoft Word doc); include U.S. Postal mailing address & phone number as well as email address. PHOTOS/ART: Color digital photos – 300 dpi minimum; pdf or tiff format.

Our regular feature categories are: Kentucky History; Kentucky Treasure (usually a little-known location, historic site, etc.); Destination: a
    feature-length piece on a location that has lots to offer visitors and residents; Field Trip (shorter article on appealing location, usually not as well known); Natural History (wildlife); Bookshelf (review of books about Kentucky subjects or by KY authors); In the Kitchen (features Kentucky cookbooks/recipes).”

The majority of our products have uplifting messages with a positive theme. Our greeting cards are known for bringing people together with heartfelt messages and sentiments.” Welcomes new writers. Pays on acceptance. Period between acceptance and publication varies depending on the product, but is usually within “a few months.” Buys “exclusive rights for all greeting cards. If a work is used only in an anthology, the writer keeps the copyright.” No reprints. Responds 2-4 months. “”Our greeting cards and books are widely available at gift stores and bookshops around the country.

If submitting several poems by email, please send them all in one email. See poetry contest guidelines at http://www.sps.com/k/poetry/contest.htm. Book proposals should include an overview of the book, a biography of the author, and at least a few chapters of the book. We do not accept book proposals by email.” PHOTOS/ART: “We do not accept freelance artwork or photography.” HINTS: “Please take note that the majority of the material we publish does not rhyme. Don’t be too specific when writing greeting cards, as it will limit the audience. Try to add original details that make a card sound unique, yet are universally shared. It can often help to have someone in mind when writing (a friend, relative, etc.). Become familiar with our products, but then try to submit something that is different from them in some way. We are focusing on finding new voices and new, creative ways of writing and expressing emotion.”
