The Sun is one of my favorite print magazines that comes in my mailbox every month. And one of my favorite features in The Sun is their Readers Write section. A new short, open topic offered each month to be interupted and submitted to. We bloggers already write shortish non-fiction pieces each day... hint, hint... write and submit, you who is reading this. Visit their site for complete details and some pieces from the current issue. http://www.thesunmagazine.org/This would be a wonderful addition to your writing publication resume, is probably the kind of thing you are already writing, and is so very easy to write, print, pop in an envelope and toss in the mail box. Plus, payment is a subscription to The Sun and that is always wonderful. They also take poetry and short story submissions.

Readers Write asks readers to address subjects on which they're the only authorities. Topics are intentionally broad in order to give room for expression. Writing style isn't as important as thoughtfulness and sincerity.
Because of space limitations, we're unable to print all the submissions we receive. We edit pieces, often quite heavily, but contributors have the opportunity to approve or disapprove of editorial changes prior to publication. (If you don't want to be contacted regarding the editing of your work, please let us know.)
We publish only nonfiction in Readers Write. Feel free to submit your work under "Name Withheld" if it allows you to be more honest, but be sure to include your mailing address so we can give you a complimentary one-year subscription if we use your work, as a way of saying thanks. Occasionally we will choose not to publish an author's name, or will use only a first name and last initial. While we don't question the truthfulness of the writing, we must be sensitive to considerations of libel or invasion of privacy. If you've already changed the names of the people involved, please say so.
Send your typed, double-spaced submissions to Readers Write, The Sun, 107 N. Roberson St., Chapel Hill, NC 27516. If you cannot type, please print clearly. We're sorry, but we can't respond to or return your work, so don't send your only copy unless you don't want it back. Because we must wait until the last minute to make our final selections, we are unable to answer questions regarding the status of submissions. If your work is going to appear, you'll hear from us prior to publication.
