Seasonal Pieces

Read Psalms 73-76

Psalms 74:17 "Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter."

When we have a hard time coming up with ideas to pitch, we might want to try seasonal material. Some holidays, like Christmas might already have lots of other writers pitching ideas, but there are other seasons, holidays, and celebrations with less competition that we could pitch.

Seasonal material needs to be submitted well in advance. The writer’s guidelines will state what kind of a lead the publication needs.

Even fiction markets, both novel and short story, have seasonal potential. Short stories still have submission deadlines for seasonal material, but novels can take as long as needed to finish.
