CARTOONIST GUIDELINES
Phi Delta Kappan is a journal
for professional educators -- school superintendents, teachers,
school board members, state and federal education department
staff. The journal has been published since 1915; our current
circulation is about 100,000.
We prefer to receive original
cartoons in print format so that all of our editors and designers
can easily review them. Please include an SASE of sufficient
size and with sufficient postage to return your work. We recommend
submitting 8 to 20 cartoons in a packet.
If you choose to submit copies
rather than originals, please send the original immediately when
we notify you that we will be purchasing the work. Also, please
note any cartoonist guild or association memberships you hold.
Be sure that your name, address, and phone are on the back of
each cartoon, and that your artwork is signed. Cartoonists retain
copyright to any cartoons that we publish. Reprint requests will
be forwarded. Please be sure that we have your current contact
information.
Cartoons must deal with some
aspect of the issues in education to be considered for purchase.
(Editorial cartoons should deal with issues that will continue
to be newsworthy for a few months.)
Further, we would like to remind
everyone that we would prefer to choose from (and are more likely
to purchase) cartoons that feature diverse people in a variety
of roles. Remember -- not all troublemakers are boys -- not all
principals are men -- not all elementary teachers are women --
not all people are white -- not all elementary teachers who are
women are mean -- and just once in a great while -- could the
cat beat the dog to the homework ? (We haven't heard from the
cat lobby yet, but I'm expecting a letter any day.)
We've had the great good fortune
to work with many terrific cartoonists over the years. They have
always provided the most enjoyable moments of our days. We welcome
you to join their ranks, but please understand that the competition
is pretty fierce -- we review many hundreds of cartoons every
month and can publish only a tiny fraction of them. We will do
our best to review your work within six to eight weeks.
Please mail cartoons to:
