Dear Folks,

At Small Farmer's Journal we do not believe in "writer's guidelines." They too often contribute to a homogenization and over-simplification of editorial material. They work as convenient enticements to professional and quasi-professional writers to submit articles which seldom contain truth, or the ring of truth, let alone actual experience-born information.

We want the writings of people who've done it.

We suggest you purchase a copy of the Journal. A good reading will answer your questions.

We purchase one-time rights to material for between $25 and $150. (We are open to trades as well.)

Reading your copy of the Journal will tell you that we place a premium on sincerity and experience. A facility with writing and fancy communication skills aren't what we're drawn to.

Here's a list of types of articles we have recently published:
