Finally, love writing. Practically everybody I meet would like to be a writer, but not many actually want to write. The hard work is sitting down and putting the words on paper. Now, close this book and do it. May your fingers have wings.Page 534Appendix A:World Wide Web Resources for Feature WritersGrowth of the Internet and the Web in recent years has led to creation of a large number of Web sites that are helpful to feature writers.

Beginning with the January/February 1997 issue, PA&B replaces Pennsylvania Angler, which was 32 pages published monthly. PA&B is a fourcolor selfcover with no advertising. Four issues are 72 pages~ two issues are 64 pages. About 90 percent of the magazine is freelancewritten. Every year we buy 70 to 100 fulllength article/photo packages, dozens of color slides and some blackandwhite prints.SubjectsThe best way to determine our needs is to read and study past issues. If you send us a 9 × 12 envelope affixed with firstclass postage for nine ounces, we'll send you a sample copy.PA&B's mainstays have been whereto and howto articles. We'll continue to publish these kinds of articles, but we seek to widen the variety of material in the magazine to encompass all aspects of the Commission and its functions. The Commission's mission is to provide fishing and boating opportunities through the protection and management of aquatic resources. Our goal is to mirror the entirePage 537Commission in PA & B. For this reason, we are constantly looking for fresh ideas on subjects we haven't covered recently, and new takes on subjects we've previously covered.Here is a Partial List of our Needs:" Whereto articles that include details on how to fish specific Pennsylvania waterways (or several waterways), times of day best for action, and technically accurate howto information. These kinds of articles should include handdrawn maps showing accesses, main roads, landmarks, parking and hotspots." Howto articles on fishing in Pennsylvania. We do not publish product information or puffery." Boating articles. Howto, whereto, repair, maintenance, trailering and technical." "New" subjects. We like to publish articles that inform readers on the latest fishing and boating methods and trends. We consider only "Pennsylvaniaized" subjects. We do not publish pieces about using a specific product." Aquatic education pieces that relate to Pennsylvania fish and fishing." Articles on stream morphology and aquatic stream life." Pieces on reptiles and amphibians." Articles on boater and angler safety." Articles that show the benefits of fisheries management applications of research results and studies." Shorts. We use articles of 700 to 800 words with one to three photos for published onepagers. Subjects include fresh, sharply focused ideas on all aspects of the Commission and its mission." Fish and Boat Commission activities across the state." Nostalgia, humor and "think" pieces. These articles must be strongly slanted to Pennsylvania. We also publish historical articles, Pennsylvaniabased fiction ("me and Joe" articles) and firstperson accounts.Page 538" We publish fish cookery articles that have a strong Pennsylvania slant." We do not solicit product reviews and roundups, cartoons, poetry, games, puzzles and tournament coverage." We rarely publish articles that have appeared elsewhere.Writing Style, SubmittingArticles are occasionally aimed at novice anglers and boaters, and some material is directed toward the most skilled fishermen and boaters. Most articles cater to people between these extremes. Most material we publish is 500 to 3,500 words
