Thank you for your interest in KITPLANES magazine. Before submitting material, we suggest that you obtain a copy of the magazine and acquaint yourself with its style and content. A direct link to our back issue service is on our home page. Your queries and submissions are welcome, but they may be in our hands for several weeks before we can evaluate them. We cannot assume responsibility for material submitted, but be assured that reasonable care will be taken.

We prefer submission of articles via email (addressed to editorial@kitplanes.com). Feel free to attach the manuscript as a word processing file (text, Microsoft Word, Apple Pages formats are acceptable). Low-resolution “thumbnail” examples of the supporting images may be submitted as part of the query e-mail or embedded at the end of the word processing file.

Color photos are required; digital images are preferred. We are looking for sharp, professional-quality photos. Please do not email high-resolution digital images until asked to do so. We have a dedicated FTP photo-transfer site that will not cause our email system hardship. Necessary artwork (usually photos) and captions will be requested upon acceptance of the manuscript. Technical artwork must be sharp and clear, drawn with black ink or drafting pencils. Drawings may be submitted in EPS, PICT, PDF or TIF file formats.

Please include your daytime phone number.

Payment depends on the length of the article as published, including artwork. Thus the more and better the art, the more we pay. The budget for first-time KITPLANES writers is $70 per page as printed in the magazine, including illustrations/photos, but that may be increased at the editor’s discretion. After your first KITPLANES appearance, the rate increases to $105 per page.
