Pen Pals -- Write for Inky Trail News!Every issue of Inky Trail News is full of articles written by readers -- pen pals! I love to publish your articles and you make Inky Trail News what it is! This is my small friendship newsletter and I can't pay writers -- but I do provide complimentary issues for your published article, depending on the size of your article. I will credit you with 1-2 issues for most articles... sometimes 3 issues (six month subscription). I prefer e-mailed stories and articles (so much easier to cut and paste into my newsletter) but I also accept typewritten articles and handwritten ones, if legible. I prefer approximately 500-600 words, but I do use some that are longer! I hope to hear from you! Pen pals are all about differences in cultures, thoughts, lifestyles -- even something simple like my "View from my Window" ends up being something very interesting!
