Write for The Postcard Whisperer
Submission guidelines
We are a newsletter about postcards. Foremost, stories should pertain in some form, even if imaginary, to postcards. Mostly, we’d love to hear about collections, sightings, creation of, special stories of how a moment in time also included something about a postcard. If you have an event, a shop, an experience you would like to share, tell us your postcard story. Well received submissions will also be included in the newsletter.
Submission guidelines: subject to change without prior notice
Postcards are public expressions of people and culture, be respectful of the differences. Please remember that some themes are more appropriate than others. We would like to keep the publication family oriented to start a new generation of Deltiologists=postcard addicts.
Length of your story- It is not a requirement to edit your story to a specific word could. That being said, shorter stories, or stories with plenty of visuals [i.e. postcards] are getting more traction. If you have a lot of information to present, consider breaking up the article into a series, & submit multiple stories for publication. It could be a creative endeavor that reaps many rewards in different ways.
Drafts are preferred. Submitting an unpublished story gives us the chance to work with the writer if necessary to polish the story, but more importantly, allows the story more time on the front page of the publication. Bottom line is, this improves the experience for our subscribers and makes it easier for your new stories to be seen. Previously published stories can be submitted, but risks getting lost at the bottom of the algorithm.
History and reference links are encouraged, including A link to an example from a shop, if a learning element is included. Please, respect the reader by not spamming a story with sales.
Affiliate links are also encouraged, again, please be reasonable with regard to the quantity and quality of any links, trying to provide some educational value to the reader.
At this time, English and Spanish articles will be accepted, until we are able to have more interest in postcards in other languages as multilingual editors become available. It would be jolly if articles could be in dual languages, these are entertaining & educational.
The editors serve more as curators and less as proofreaders. It is the responsibility of the writer to make sure the submitted story is free of errors.
