The Delineator

We Delineator editors think that we know a good story when we see it; vide the magazine. Yet no issue of the magazine, and perhaps no six issues, contain all the types of good stories that we like.

The average intelligent American woman or girl, in the home or in business, is the person we have chiefly in mind when choosing stories. The above-the-average woman, of course, is not forgotten.

Nor do we exclude any special type of story. We prefer stories that will interest everyone—men, women and high-brows—but we want stories for women first. Other things being equal, the hero should be a woman. We think we have no prejudices and we certainly have no rules.
