FARM AND FIRESIDE
We want good fiction for _Farm and Fireside_, and we will pay
good money for it. The only kind we don’t want is the extreme
stuff--sexy-pink-tea and blood-and-thunder. We don’t demand a farm
setting. Aside from that, we have no specifications. Just one request:
If you are not interested in selling your best stories to a publication
that is made for men and women who farm, please do not waste your
postage and our time.
As to length--3,000 to 5,000 words for short stories, and up to 10,000
for two-part, and 15,000 for three-part serials.
We pay on acceptance, price to fit quality; no limit.
Address Editor, _Farm and Fireside_, 381 Fourth Avenue, New York City.

THE FORUM
_The Forum_ is not publishing fiction. My own personal view, however,
is that a serious magazine should print some fiction, and in the course
of time _The Forum_ will.
If I should be the one selecting the fiction by that time, I would look
for intelligence and imagination.

HARPER’S MAGAZINE
_Harper’s Magazine_ is constantly seeking the work of new writers, and
it probably publishes more stories by hitherto unknown writers than any
other fiction periodical of reputable standing.
_Harper’s Magazine_ has no editorial prejudices, and does not ask its
contributors to make their work conform to any fixed or arbitrary
specifications. There is no such thing as a “Harper type” of story.
Any story is acceptable which in dignity of conception and quality of
workmanship has real value, provided it is also interesting.
Stories of a youthful turn, with a glimmer of humor, are particularly
desired. Three thousand to seven thousand words is the preferred length.

JUDGE
_Judge’s_ need is for honest-to-goodness humor, the short story (under
a thousand words) that forces a healthy chuckle, the poem that tickles
the fancy and stirs the risibles (whatever they are) and the good
old-fashioned joke with a modern setting and a sophisticated idea.
Clean fun, smart fun, spontaneous fun expressed in any literary form
will be acceptable and paid for generously.
_Judge’s_ circulation is booming; that is happening only because this
magazine is human, modern, entertaining, American and very often
genuinely humorous.
