Freelance writing, Country Magazine/ Country EXTRA Magazine, pays $200-$2,000 per article/ $50 per poem (USA)

Country is for people who “live in or long for the country.” Our content reflects the rural lifestyle with relaxed, conversational writing and top-quality photography. We showcase the benefits and pleasures of country life, the beauty of rural America and folks with interesting tales to tell. Much of each issue is based on contributions from readers.

Launched in 1987 and published six times a year, Country is available primarily by subscription. Country EXTRA is published in the months between issues of Country for readers who prefer to receive a magazine each month.

Freelance submissions

All freelance material is considered on a speculative basis unless a specific assignment is made. We pay, upon publication, $250 for any story that runs a full page or more. The only exceptions are “God’s Country,” an 8- to 10-page text-and-photo feature, for which we pay a flat rate of $2,000, and poetry, which appears only in Country EXTRA; we pay $50 for each published poem.

Photos included with submissions may be transparencies, color prints or high-quality digital images. Please include your full name, address and daytime telephone number with all submissions.

We regret that we can neither acknowledge nor return unsolicited material. Please send only copies of irreplaceable historic photos.

Send manuscripts with photos to Editor Robin Hoffman, and photo submissions to Photo Coordinator Trudi Bellin, at 5400 S. 60th St., Greendale WI 53129. Queries and submissions also may be sent to editors@country-magazine.com.
