Popular Woodworking, published 7 times/year, is a magazine that invites woodworkers of all levels into a community of professionals who share their hard-won shop experience through in-depth projects and technique articles, which help the readers hone their existing skills and develop new ones.

Related stories increase the readers' understanding and enjoyment of their craft. Any project submitted must be aesthetically pleasing, of sound construction, and offer a challenge to readers. Technical pieces must have practical application. On the average, Popular Woodworking uses 4 freelance features/issue. Primary needs are "how-to" articles on woodworking. Secondary need is for articles that will inspire discussion concerning woodworking. Tone of articles should be conversational and informal, as if the writer is speaking directly to the reader. The magazine's readers are the woodworking hobbyist and small woodshop owner. Writers should have an extensive knowledge of woodworking, or be able to communicate information gained from woodworkers.

Columns include Tricks of the Trade, providing helpful techniques, and Out of the Woodwork, containing thoughts on woodworking as either a profession or a hobby. May be humorous or serious in tone.

To break in, write an Out of the Woodwork column and then follow up with photos of projects. Submissions should include materials list, complete diagrams (blueprints not necessary), and discussion of the step-by-step process. Popular Woodworking has become more selective on accepting only practical, attractive projects with quality construction. Also looking for more original topics for other articles.

The mission of AmericanStyle magazine is to inform craft enthusiasts and art collectors about the significance of handmade objects of art. Launched in 1994 by The Rosen Group, AmericanStyle provides art lovers with valuable tips on decorating, interior design, display and lighting ideas for everything from designer jewelry and art glass to collectible teapots, art furniture and sculptural ceramics. More than 250 arts festivals, gallery exhibitions and museum events are listed in the Datebook section of each issue.

With every bi-monthly issue, readers enjoy the eclectic lifestyles of artists, the elegant homes of craft collectors and features about "the art of creative living."City arts tours and small arts walk features in AmericanStyle magazine promote awareness of the economic and aesthetic contributions that art and craft bring to our homes and community. Each year cities compete to be included in AmericanStyle magazine's Top 25 Arts Destinations edition.

Featured departments include:

COLLECTOR PROFILE:
Article should be written in a clear, lively, conversational style, and answer the following questions of the subject being
interviewed: how did you first become interested in collecting? how has your collection grown and/or changed over the years? how do you feel about these works from an investment standpoint? what advice would you give to a new collector? did you have a mentor when you first started collecting? how do you make your selections? where do you find new talent? is your family involved in your collecting endeavors? Profiles generally run 1000-1200 words.

ARTS TOUR:
City and regional arts tours in AmericanStylefocus specifically on art, artists, galleries, museums and art-oriented open studios, tours and events in a given city or region. They are NOT generic travel stories and should not be written as such.
Stories generally run about 1000 words, accompanied by possible sidebars of varying lengths that highlight gallery group
events, gallery crawls, interesting arts centers, sculpture gardens or art co-ops, plus a mandatory “If You Go” box with
details about contacting travel bureaus and arts organizations for more information.
The main story must include quotes from a variety of gallery owners, artists or museum directors about the city or region’s growing arts scene and the emphasis should be on what’s new on the arts scene in the area.

ARTS WALK:
Arts Walk is a regular department of the magazine that virtually walks readers through an arts enclave, small arts town or gallery district. Stories generally run 700-800 words, with addresses and phone numbers for each gallery mentioned
included in parentheses in the running text. General guidelines for writing Arts Walk columns follow the same considerations as for Arts Tours.

ARTIST PORTFOLIO:
Aregular department of the magazine, the Portfolio column focuses on emerging artists and their work, and provides
readers with details about their background and education, ongoing editions of their work, gallery affiliations and, where
applicable, museum representation. Portfolio columns run approximately 700 words and should be written in an engaging conversational style.

Modernism Magazine, founded in 1998, is a quarterly dedicated to 20th-century architecture, design and decorative arts. Its readers include collectors, dealers, design professionals and general readers with an interest in Modernism. We seek stories about notable, but not necessarily well-known, architects, designers and decorative artists and their work. We cover architecture, interior design, furniture and graphic design, as well as all forms of decorative arts, including, but not limited to, ceramics, glass, jewelry, lighting, textiles, metalwork and tableware. We are also interested in stories that look at unusual fields of production; we have covered, for example, the design of mid-century steamships.

We are interested not only in the products of design, but also in the stories behind the objects: what motivated the designer, who were his/her mentors or influences, why is the work significant, and how does it fit into the larger context of 20th-century design, as well as into the social context of its time.

While our coverage begins in the 1920s and '30s with Art Deco and related movements, we also consider stories that look at earlier periods if a case can be made for the subject’s link to later movements. Our readers are particularly interested in the mid-century period, and we also do stories on 1960s Pop. We generally end with 1980s postmodernism, but we are moving towards more coverage of contemporary design – always bearing in mind the subject’s relevance to the modern movement. We do not ordinarily cover fine art, but we might if the artist had influence on a design movement or did design work in addition to painting or sculpture.

FEATURES
We publish four or five 2,000-2,500 word feature articles per issue. These range from scholarly (though written in an accessible style) to more personal, but all articles are well-informed views of a particular area of modern design. Articles about decorative arts and furniture tend to have an emphasis on collecting; we usually include sidebars with information on the relevant collectors’ market. We also publish interviews with well-known figures in the field, and try to track down living architects and designers whenever possible to interview them about their own work.

DIGS
We feature one or two interior design projects each issue — usually as part of a larger story about the renovation of a 20th-century house. If applicable, we emphasize the occupants’ collections of furniture and decorative arts. We do not cover contemporary architecture in general, unless the owners’ collections within the house merit attention. Length ranges from 1,000 – 1,500 words.

CITY REPORT
These are travel stories for people interested in modernist design. We cover a city or small region, discussing the development of its 20th-century architectural styles, and listing and describing notable houses and public buildings. We also list places to visit, such as period restaurants, vintage design stores and galleries, and museums. These are not typical travel stories; we do not list hotels, for example, unless they exhibit notable 20th-century design. Length ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 words

CLOSE UP
Close Up is a close look at a specific topic such as an individual’s collection, a specific example of historic preservation, an interview with a designer, the redesign of a museum, etc. Length ranges from 1,500 – 2,500 words.

Text should be in Times New Roman, double spaced, with indented paragraphs and no space between paragraphs.

Please include a RESUME and two samples of previously published writing, as well as a sample of unpublished writing.
