How do I get bird photos I have taken published in a magazine?

I am very proud of my photography and would like to get noticed!

I have no idea how to get things published but you know what you can do!? You can try to take pictures of a lot of different species and create a book! I had to take a class on birds in college and we use those kinds of books and the photos in them to identify the birds. Good luck with your pics.

You can contact the publishers of the magazine you wish to put your pictures in by mail and send them a copy of them (there is usually an address in the inside cover, front, or back covers.) You can also look at the magazine's website if they have one for more options.

If they don't accept the pictures, you can always try another magazine. If they do, congratulations!

Go out and look at George Lepp's websites.

He is one of the most published wildlife and nature photographer in the US. You may find that attending one of his seminars or workshops will give you the tips you need to become published.
