We prefer a written proposal of 250 to 300 words as a preliminary query.
The proposal should convince us that we should cover the subject, offer
descriptive information on how you, the writer, would treat the subject
and offer us an opportunity to judge
your writing ability. Background information and writing credentials are
helpful.
You may send your submission via electronic mail to
editor@lehighvalleystyle.com . If you have supporting material or
clips of previously published work, you may prefer to send your proposal
through the United States mail. Address it to: Lisa J. Gotto,
Editor-in-Chief, Lehigh Valley Style, 3245 Freemansburg Avenue, Palmer,
PA 18045. If you send your proposal by post, please include a
self-addressed stamped envelope for materials to be returned. If we
decide to commission an article, the writer receives full payment on

writer, 25% of the payment serves as a kill fee.
