RIGHT UP FRONT
$500 FOR VIETNAM VET "HEROES" First: Thank you—for your sensational response to
our salute to Vietnam vets in our October 1985 Gallery. We hoped it would be well
received. We had no idea it would pull in more mail—and draw more phone calls—than
any other issue of this magazine in the 14 years of its existence. Both regular
Gallery readers and representatives from Vietnam veterans' organizations from
around the country took the trouble to get in touch. All that attention gave us
an idea: Let's give Vietnam vets a forum. Let's not advise or praise or counsel
them—let's give them a place to talk about their lives in their words. And let's
pay them for it. And we will: $500—for memoirs, experiences, revelations. Here
are the details: Only Vietnam-era vets are eligible; all manuscripts must be nonfiction,
no more than 2,500 words in length; all manuscripts must be typed and double-spaced.
We're calling it "Heroes: The Vietnam Experience" and it will be a regular monthly
feature starting in the March 1986 Gallery. Send your submissions to: HEROES EDITOR
GALLERY MAGAZINE 800 SECOND AVENUE NEW YORK, NY 10017 A necessity we must warn
you about: There will be only 12 slots a year for this feature, so we'll be forced
to return many of the submissions. And please remember that no submissions will
be returned if they are not accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
If you're a Vietnam vet, we hope to hear from you. We're going to get the word
out to as many vets' organizations as possible. And we're counting on you to let
other vets know about this opportunity to share their experiences with an audience
that is both interested and large. We're not necessarily looking for "war stories."
What we're looking for is for the writers of the "Heroes" features to pass along
the essence of an experience of theirs. It might have occurred in a tour of duty
in 1965.... It might have happened just last week. It might be the effects of
Vietnam on someone you never got to know. ...It might have been an event that
changed you profoundly—and forever. Whatever it was, we'd like to hear from you.
Thanks again.
—The Editors
