Georgia Magazine: Market Spotlight
For this week’s market spotlight, we look at Georgia Magazine, the largest circulation monthly magazine in Georgia.
Georgia Magazine is the largest circulation monthly magazine in Georgia with more than half a million subscribers. Established in 1945, it is published by Georgia Electric Membership Corporation, the trade association for Georgia's 41 consumer-owned electric utilities.
What They're Looking For
Writers can peruse sample issues online and will find that the magazine is comprised of feature articles and various departments, including Georgia News, Curious Georgia, Around Georgia, Georgia Gardens, Georgia Cooks, and Hometown Heroes.
The editors say, "Story ideas or ledes should be submitted in writing."
For My Georgia stories, writers can submit stories of no longer than 500 words and a photo of the author that focus on meaningful Georgia experiences. Writers published for this section are paid $100.
How to Submit
For features, writers should email pitches to magazine@georgiaemc.com. Writers should submit My Georgia stories to mygeorgia@georgiaemc.com.
