We just had our weekly editorial meeting, where editors pitch stories they’ve heard about by word of mouth or found by reading hard-copy and online submissions. Most of the stories in our publications come from you, so we love a full mailbox (both kinds). A big part of our jobs is reading, reading, reading those manuscripts you so generously send in.
Every week I most look forward to one kind of pitch in particular—stories pitched to Angels on Earth, of course! After each meeting, I come away thinking we’ve found the angel story to beat all angel stories, and I can’t wait to see it published for everyone to enjoy. I wonder how it can ever be topped. And then it happens! I fall in love all over again. Week after week, we collect stories we can’t wait to put in an issue. I’d like your story to be one of them.
If you’ve been putting off writing down your angel story, or writing up the true story of someone you know, do it now. It doesn’t have to be fancy. We’re here to help you get the finished manuscript ready for publication. Email your story or send it to Angels on Earth, 16 East 34th Street, New York, NY 10016. Maybe you’ll get it to us in time to be pitched at next week’s editorial meeting. I’ll be waiting!
