It's funny to notice whilst researching prospective agents/publishing opportunities the specific subjects they are not seeking. I particularly like the ones that add "please," like they are at their wits' end.
- Please do not send stories about cats that live outdoors.
- No stories about September 11th, the Y2K bug, or tsunamis.
- No stories about "good" children always making the "right" decision.
- No stories about dishwashing, divorce, or drivers' ed.
- No stories about vaginas or penises afflicted with bizarre allergies please.
- NO STORIES ABOUT BATMANS ORIGIN.
- NO STORIES about how "I loved my dad and I'm sad he's dead."
- Please...no stories about your grandmother's tomato sauce.
- No stories about Abe Lincoln please.
- The magazine does not care to read any more stories written from the point of view of a fetus.
- No stories about grandma's funeral.
- No stories about vampires or werewolves either.
And it's amazing they still have to say this:
- We do not accept manuscripts that are handwritten.
- We do not accept articles that do not deliver on the article title.
- We do not accept queries by telephone.
- We do not accept articles from article generator software.
Seems to me they'd be better off telling us what they DO want to see instead of what they don't!
