American Falconry

We have tried to keep our requirements for submissions loose so as not to discourage potential writers. Manuscripts don't even have to be typed. We understand that some falconers live in remote areas and don't have access to a computer or typewriter. If you do have access to a computer you may submit your article on disk, or as an email attachment. Anytime we do any editing, other than spelling or simple punctuation corrections, a proof copy will be sent to the author for approval. We are happy to accept multiple part articles, but we will not normally print part one until we receive the complete series. We encourage authors submitting articles over 5000 words to write them as a series. Good photographs accompanying an article increase the likelihood it will be used. We prefer slides or prints with negatives, but will accept quality prints without negatives. Please include captions and authors of all photos submitted. Tables, graphs, and other illustrations need to be professional in appearance if they are to be used. Frequently we can help in this area so don't hesitate to call. Remuneration for articles will start at $50.00. Exact amount will depend on length (longer isn't always better), photos included, amount of editing needed, and notoriety of the author. If you have any questions at all, feel free to call any time. During the hawking season, you will have better luck reaching me after dark.
