The editor is back from a quiet time! How about a deadline two weeks from now for your submissions: November 1. You send stuff at a record speed and we'll turn out the magazine with similar alacrity.

Women Outdoors Magazine is nothing without your stories, photos, how-to articles, poems, muses, memories, sketches, opinions. Please send contributions along. If you don't have time to write something long, just send along a short email about a hike you took or a raft trip you are dreaming of. I bet you had some adventures over the past few months. What are you up to the next couple of weekends? I know Western Mass. is planning a retreat. Did you take a kayak trip, or a wildflower walk, or a cave exploration, this summer?

Please accompany all writing and artwork with a biography. Send photographs (with captions and photographer’s name) and artwork as jpg files attached to email. Writing is best attached as Word files.  Address contributions to: Editor@womenoutdoors.org.

Thank you.

Franny, Editor
(and thanks as always to the rest of the magazine staff, Jan and our designer, Stein)
