Submissions
Thank you for your interest in writing for Ms . All query letters should be sent to:
Queries/ Ms . magazine
433 South Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills , CA 90212
Please include a brief bio and two or three previously published clips.
Query letters should clearly state the topic of your proposed project and your qualifications to write on this topic. We also accept full manuscripts for consideration.
Ms . is looking for pieces that use a feminist lens. We consider articles on politics, social commentary, popular culture, law, education, art and the environment. We do not consider articles on fashion, beauty, fitness, travel, food or of a "self-help" variety. Film, music and book reviews are covered in-house. Writers should reference several recent issues to familiarize themselves with content and style.
Rates vary and are not discussed until an assignment has been made.
If your query intrigues us, we will contact you. We regret that we cannot discuss the status of queries over the phone.
To receive a response, please include an SASE (self-sealing envelopes preferred). Ms . is unable to return unsolicited manuscripts, artwork and queries.
Ms. welcomes the highest-quality original fiction and poetry, but we are publishing these infrequently as of late.

Ms. Internships
Open to highly motivated undergraduates. Work with the editorial (L.A.) or publishing staff (D.C.), and gain experience in magazine marketing, advertising, writing, researching and other areas of publication. Applicants with experience in both journalism and feminist activism will be given priority. Applications are processed on a rolling basis.
Ms. Editorial Internship
West Coast: L.A. Office
We’re looking for bright, energetic, resourceful women with excellent research and writing skills. Our interns help gather and fact-check information, work on specific office projects, and participate in creating the magazine's National News section. This is a great opportunity to learn how the editorial side of a non-profit magazine operates -- from the inception of an idea to the final printed product -- and a great place to gain new feminist perspectives.
To Apply:
Mail or e-mail a cover letter, resume, writing sample (three to five pages on a topic pertinent to women's issues), and two letters of recommendation or two references to:
