US Airways Open to Submissions

US Airways Magazine is looking for writers who can deliver smart, pithy copy. They like breezy, humor, and a friendly, light tone. They prefer to receive story submissions or inquiries via email with "Pitch" or "Story Submission" in the subject line. They prefer specific ideas or pitches based on a careful perusal of their
magazine (refer to Web site if you don't have access to a bound copy). Avoid sending "shotgun pitches," a single email with multiple story suggestions. Attached clips are preferred, along with a brief note about who you are, what you write about, and where you've been published. They pay from $100-$500 depending on originality of idea, projected space in the magazine, and amount of research used to create an original idea.
