About This Market
True Romance's stories are generally realistic first-person narratives that deal with a variety of issues pertaining to women. As the title of the magazine denotes, they are looking for true stories that deal with romance, relationships, love, sex, beauty, and the female body and mind. They want to read about the issues that you, your friends, and your family have talked, laughed, and cried about!
Features: True Romance has added a few new features to our magazine that will contribute greatly to its essence. Please feel free to contribute to any of these sections: - Happily Ever After: Do you have a dream-come-true tale and want to share it? Please send a short 200-400 word description of your relationship from start to present and a picture. - Snippets: a shorter feature of about 1000-3000 words. Everybody has a story to tell, but some stories are shorter than others. Snippets are concise featurettes about anything worth writing about - Share frustrations with friends and family, describe something that has changed your life or made you think differently about something real and immediate. Opinions and commentary are welcome, if balanced by life experience. - Love Letter: If you are in love with someone and would like to tell the whole world, we would love to publish your letter! The letter can be anonymous if you choose. - How I Met My Love: Tell us the interesting way you met your love. Keep it under 400 words. - Talk Back: Regular people sound off on a topic each month. Please send a short response (no more than five sentences) along with a clear picture of your face.
Length: Stories between 3,000 and 8,000 words, although well-developed stories above 8,000 words are never turned away. Also accepts shorter stories for Snippets.
Pays three cents per word for stories and Snippets. Poetry payment is $20 to $50. Love Letters pay $35. How I Met My Love and Happily Ever After pay $50 each.
Submissions via e-mail and regular mail are accepted.
