It was a pleasant surprise to come home Friday afternoon and find an email message in the inbox from The Kentucky Ancestors magazine. I have had many stories published there, but with the transition to an online magazine, I figured the others I have sent would go by the wayside in the shuffle. Asking an author if they are interested in publishing their work is like asking a fish if they are interested in water. I can hardly wait to see how my stories will look in the new format. I have to admit I will miss the real magazine that I could read in bed, but, just like old ladies, apparently its time has come. This fits perfectly my new mantra, "Stay Flexible". Of course, you will be the first to know how it looks when published online. Stay tuned --- Patj
"According to his files, I
have four articles from you….and we are contacting you in the hopes of
publishing a couple of them in our new format. We are seeking new Feature
Articles and two of your articles seem very well suited to our readers.
The
first one we would like to publish is: John
Storms and Hannah Collard: My Mystery Ancestors.
The second article we
would like to publish is: Benjamin
Campbell and Cloe Farris, and Those Wonderful Kentucky Tax Lists.
Due
to the number of articles we have in the queue at the moment, we can only take
these two at this time. The first article would be published almost immediately
if you permit. The second would be more in the summer months of 2014 as we like
to spread out the various submissions.
Let me know if you would be interested in letting us publish
these articles.
Thanks! "
