TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR SUBMISSION:

• Learn more about the publication: The Sun is an independent magazine that uses words and photographs to evoke the splendor and heartache of being human. Each issue of The Sun celebrates life, but not in a way that ignores its complexity. It attempts to marry the personal and political; to challenge the status quo and reveal injustice; to honor courageous and honest writing; and to touch the mystery of our humanity. More information here.
• Read through a selection of recent stories on its website.
• Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.
• Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a few lines highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
