Thanks Marcia for the information...I'm still trying to "crack" one of your publications. If we have activities to submit, should we send in a query or the manuscript? I know for Appleseeds, I read that I should send the finished manuscript. Thanks for your help.

Audrey, for activities I'd definitely send the entire mss. For articles or stories, query with the idea.

Hi Marcia, I sent out some activities for some of the mags to match the theme. Will the editor let me know if it will be used or not? How do I know if it not accepted? Thanks, Rani

Thanks, Marcia. You're very nice to let us know. 
Any idea when the Appleseeds themes will be updated?

Rani, which theme were they for? I do the activity page and haven't started choosing for Frontier yet...
Rebecca, we have most of the AppleSeeds themes nailed down but aren't quite finished...hopefully by the end of the week!
