If you have recently submitted to Weatherwise or have experience with this market, please submit a comment below. Recent submission response times are always welcome and helpful to other writers.
Please initiate your interest in writing for Weatherwise by e-mailing a query letter to Editor-in-Chief, Margaret Benner Smidt. The preferred format is Microsoft Word. Your letter should outline the direction of the article, give an indication of your writing style and perspective, tell us why or how you're qualified to write the article, list potential sources and illustration possibilities, and include clips of your published work. (If you have not been published, please send a sample of your writing suitable for magazine-style work.) We will consider research topics, but do not publish academic papers. Authors are expected to write (or rewrite) in a conversational, magazine style suitable for a popular audience. Look for the story within the story emphasizing the human element, rather than broad-brush articles on topics such as global warming, the greenhouse effect, the ozone hole, or El Niño. Because of the technical nature of our subject matter, most of Weatherwise’s authors are meteorologists. We do accept articles from non-meteorologist writers if the subject of the article is non-technical or if the author works with a meteorologist on an article of technical nature. We begin planning an issue at least six months before the cover date (i.e., September/October in March; in other words, think hurricanes in January and blizzards in July). We try to respond to queries within two months.
