Dear Editor/Publisher:
It is with pleasure that I would like to introduce you to "Stargazer," an amateur astronomy (not astrology!) column which has been appearing in the Waco Tribune-Herald since January 1990. Since early 2002 it has been available to other papers, and now appears in over 50. I think you will find "Stargazer" a quality column and hope you will consider it for your paper. Note there is no charge for papers with less than 25,000 circulation. Prices for larger papers are listed below.
Written for lay audiences, "Stargazer" is educational entertainment for people young and old. Its perspective is generally geared to the observable sky in the southwest. Click HERE to see recent and archived columns. "Stargazer" is written for every-other-week publication. In addition to a major topic, there is always a "Sky Calendar" section highlighting upcoming observable events in the night sky and a "Naked-eye Planets" section indicating currently visible planets. Editors can tailor the calendar to their day of publication. The column is distributed by email the week prior to publication. Note: If space is a consideration, "Stargazer" is also available in a monthly as well as every-other-week format. You will find me reliable, accommodating, pleasant and easy to work with, professional in my approach, and scrupulously ethical. [Below is a letter of reference from Becky Gregory, long-time Managing Editor of "Stargazer's" flagship paper, the Waco Tribune-Herald.] If you'd like to start carrying "Stargazer," or need more information, email me at paulderrickwaco@aol.com or call me at 254-753-6920 (home) or 254-723-6346 (cell). Thank you for considering "Stargazer" for your paper.Regards,
Paul Derrick
