Article Guidelines
AnswerStat
magazine welcomes articles of potential interest to our readers. This
information is provided so that you can submit articles with the greatest
chance of being accepted for publication. We look forward to receiving
your articles and sharing it with our readers; these guidelines will help us
to achieve this goal.
General
Guidelines: For your article, select a topic of relevant interest
to our readers and which you have ample personal knowledge or experience.
An ideal length is 800 to 1,200 words. Shorter articles can also be
used. Longer articles will generally be edited for length, used as a
whitepaper, or divided into two parts for publication in consecutive issues.
Title:
The title should be concise yet inviting, catchy, or intriguing. If
desired, a subtitle may be used. Include your name as you wish it to
be printed.
Text:
Your submission should read either like a news story or an editorial.
Promotion of yourself, company, products, or services is not acceptable.
Third person writing is best for "how to articles," advice, or factual
information. Vendors are advised to write in third person.
First person accounts are ideal for sharing personal experiences or making
recommendations.
Editing:
Articles will be edited for both content and length; additional text could
be added. This is at the sole discretion of AnswerStat
magazine and should not be taken personally nor interpreted as a negative
reflection on your writing skills and ability; it is a reality of
publishing. Unfortunately, not all submissions can be used.
Web
site: Once published, your article will also be included in the "Articles"
section on the AnswerStat web site. Over 150 articles are
on-line. Even though AnswerStat
magazine has a incredibly long "shelf" life, the Website further extends
your article's impact.
Compensation: At AnswerStat
magazine we are not able to compensate writers. We also feel it is
inappropriate to trade articles for ad space, press release considerations,
or other rewards. We do ask you to include a short editorial-style write-up
about yourself. This will be added at the conclusion of your article,
providing indirect promotion in exchange for your article.
Submission: All articles must be submitted via email.
Articles should be attached as a Microsoft Word document. Email all
submissions to
dehaan@answerstat.com. Mailed and faxed articles will not be
considered.

magazine agree to the following:
-
Edits may be made at the
discretion of the Editor regarding style, grammar, organization, syntax,
and clarity.
-
Article publication and
placement are at the sole discretion of the Editor.
The editors and their authorized agents will
act in good faith to preserve the author's intended message. However,
the editor reserves the right to edit any manuscripts submitted.
Accepted articles will be edited for style, grammar, organization, syntax,
and clarity. Authors will not be notified of edits that the editors and their authorized agents may make.
Articles cold also be used as a whitepaper. Acceptance of these terms is
a precondition of publication by AnswerStat
magazine. |
