Just wondering if anyone knows what the fiction submission guidelines
for Esquire and GQ are. I can't find any for Esquire, and I'm not
even sure if GW still publishes fiction at all.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
Include sex.
GQ?
Include sex.

My guess is 'no unsolicited material.' Ring them up and find out who edits
fiction. Then ring up again and ask for that person by name. See how far you
get. How many editors have PAs? You might end up talking to the person you
want.

Publishes ms 2-6 months after accept. Retains first worldwide rights for 90
days from cover date. Editorial lead time at least 2 months. Accepts
simultaneous submissions. Guidelines for SASE.

stories, some poetry, memoirs, and plays. No porn, sci-fi-or true romance.

Little info, suggest you write for Guidelines (include SASE)
Hope this helps!
Thanks! And thanks to everyone for their input.
The newly installed fiction editor is Tom Chiarella. And of course,
all you ever get is voicemail. And I seriously doubts the guy will
return a call about submission guidelines, especially when they prefer
working with established name brands.
Well, I'll forward something along and leave it up to them to beat a
path to my door. =)
Thanks again, folks.

I got a note that GQ wasn't publishing anymore. I'm not sure about Esquire
though. Some bagazines do their utmost to hide their contact details. I
gave up in frustration.
