Writers’ Guidelines We’re always looking for excellent, original, and previously unpublished personal essays, critical essays, reporting, memoir, travel writing, stories, photo essays, and even video projects. In particular, we are currently looking for pieces to publish under the columns Something Personal (memoir and personal essay), and Grand Tour (travel essays). These columns should run no more than 1,500 words. Features run anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 words (or longer). Pay and expenses are negotiable. For columns, send completed pieces. For features, query with clips. Email both to submissions@thesmartset.com.
