Additional info
We expect competent, vividly written prose—fact or fiction—that has high entertainment value for a very sophisticated audience. To get a feel for what Gray’s publishes, review several back issues. Gray’s is published seven times a year, including four themed issues. We choose an issue’s offerings about eight to twelve months before publication. We pay from $600 to $1,250 for features, based on quality, not length; yarns average $600; poems, $100. We pay $50 to $300 for photographs. For Expeditions pieces, we pay $850 to $1,000 plus $75 per picture published. The inside front cover pays $250. All payment is made upon publication. We urge multiple submissions. All submissions are on a speculation-only basis—even if you receive a positive response to a query.
