We are looking for open-minded, level-headed, high-quality material on strange phenomena. Our interests lie primarily in original research and investigations that have never before been published. We generally avoid republication and dislike rehashes.

Authors are urged to read our magazine in order to understand its style.

It is recommended that you send a query letter/e-mail before submitting articles, describing the piece's idea and planned handling. We cannot be held responsible for unsolicited material of any kind.

Articles of all lengths are needed, especially those of between 4000 to 6000 words, and shorter ones with a 1500 word count. Articles should be fully referenced. Below is a sample of our footnote style. We require citations of author, title of book or article, source (if a periodical), city of publication, publisher, date, and page number.

Other wants include reviews of books dealing with strangeness (at approximately 500-700 words), films, videos, and CDs (200 words), and essays on topics within our purview.

Clips (brief write-ups of relevant news items) are always needed. When submitting, please also provide photocopies (including date and name of publication) of the original news reports.

On all of the above, a high standard of accuracy is essential.

All submissions are voluntary in nature and we are not a paying market. Magazine income is applied to its publication.

Contributors will receive three free copies of the issue in which their material is published.

We appreciate black and white photographs and line drawings to accompany articles. You are responsible for any copyright permissions needed, so please obtain them where needed (or inform us of Public Domain status), and provide us with relevant documents so that your work will be ready for publication.

Hardcopy submissions should be legible original or good photocopy, double-spaced with wide margins. All pages should be numbered, with the article's title and author listed at the top of each page.

We do not accept simultaneous submissions. Strange acquires first serial rights. Provide a SASE if you wish the return of unused manuscripts, or the return of pictorial materials (e issue has gone to press. When you submit the material, let us know if you will allow it to be included as a part of the Stange Web Site.

A three-line author biography and a photograph are required from submitting authors/artists.

We would like to have your article on disk (preferably Mac DD or HD, in Quark or as an ascii text file). We accept e-mail submissions as well.
