AnswerStat Press Release Guidelines

AnswerStat magazine welcomes all press releases which are of potential interest to our readers.  This document is provided so that you can write your press release for maximum impact, with the greatest chance of being accepted for publication.

General Guidelines:  For your press release, follow the adage that "less is more."  Submissions should be 200 words or less.

Headline:  The headline should read like a news headline: concise, catchy, and factual - not self congratulatory nor egocentric. 

Copy:  The copy should read like a news article with some optional subtle publicity sprinkled in.  Over the top self-promotion or unabashed hype is not taken seriously nor accepted by our readers.  Do not capitalize text nor use bold, italic, or underline formatting.

Editing:  Press releases will be edited for both content and length, as needed, to meet these goals and obtain maximum interest; this is at the sole discretion of AnswerStat magazine.  Not all submissions can be used.

Vendor Press Releases:  Vendor press releases will be judged on content and reader interest, irrespective of the vendor's advertising commitment.  It is, however, pragmatic to note that Connections' advertisers advertise because readers respond.  It follows that readers would be most interested in news from those same vendors.

Online:  Your press releases will be included on our newsfeed and the news section of this site.

Submission:  All press releases must be submitted via email and should be attached as a Microsoft Word document.  Email all submissions to dehaan@answerstat.com.  Mailed and faxed articles will not be considered.  The submission deadline is firm.
