Housewife Mafia welcomes and encourages
submissions from women writers.

Even if you have never written anything before, but think you have
something to share that would be of interest or benefit to other women -
SEND IT!

We have some parameters and guidelines set for the type of material
we are looking for, but ultimately we will consider anything that is
interesting or funny.  Even if it doesn't fit within our current monthly
features, we will find a place for it if we like it.

A good rule of thumb:

If you think it is funny, inspiring or thought provoking it probably is.  
Don't be reluctant to send work in because you are worried that
someone else may not like it.  If it is heartfelt and earnest it is probably
good.  

Also do not let concerns about grammar or perfect writing form slow
you down.  
We have a team of professional editors who look everything over and
make minimal changes if necessary.

Do not be overly concerned with political correctness.  We are not that
uptight.  However we do reserve the right to reject anything that we find
offensive.  
This is extremely rare.  

We never, ever publish hate material.  If you are thinking of sending in
work that is mean spirited, bashing or demoralizing to anyone in
anyway, don't send it.


YOUR GUIDELINES:

  1. We welcome all writing that suits our editorial mix.
  2. Due to volume, allow several weeks for a response.
  3. Please try to check your spelling and grammar before submitting.
  4. We reserve the right to edit and make corrections to the original
    work.
  5. Submission does not guarantee publication.
  6. We reserve the right to not publish anything, for any reason, at any
    time.
  7. If we are not able to use your work we will provide you with an
    explanation.
  8. Requests to have your writing removed from our site will be
    granted at Webmasters or Editors discretion.
  9. We do not share your contact information with anyone.
  10. We reserve nonexclusive electronic media rights for our website.
  11. You allow first North American Serial rights for any later
    Housewife Mafia Anthology in print and you allow nonexclusive
    electronic rights for our web site.
  12. NO PORN OR HATE MATERIAL!
  13. Housewife Mafia accepts EMAIL SUBMISSIONS ONLY.
  14. List your name, address, phone and email below the title.
  15. If you would like a link to your web site, indicate so in your
    submission.
  16. Limit 5 submissions at one time.
  17. We prefer 2500 words or less.
  18. HousewifeMafia.com does not pay writers at this time.  However,
    as every emerging writer knows, it is extremely difficult to get
    published until you have been published.  Your value is getting a
    nugget on your writing resume and getting your name and your
    work out there.
  19. Published Authors:  We will provide links directly to your website,
    your publishers page and provide  Amazon links to your product.
  20. HAVE FUN READING HOUSEWIFE MAFIA EVERY MONTH!
We hope you enjoy reading
all the great ideas & thoughts from

If your work is rejected remember:

  • We are not the be all and end all to decide what is good.
  • Our themes are planned several  months in advance, and your
    work just may not fit with what we have coming up. Do try again
    later.
  • You might want to tweak your piece a bit.
  • You may want to try sending a different piece of your work.

NOTE:  Reciprocal arrangements are always nice.
If you are submitting work to promote your own website or product,
consider offering a logo link back to Housewife Mafia.  
That is a nice way of making sure that we all do well.
