What is the general format of a magazine article?
They are very straightforward and follow general content formats found in most publications. They consist of the following:

• Author name
• Headline
• Sub-head
• Two introductory paragraphs
• The body (which includes the rest or ‘bulk’ of your article)
• Article images
• Author Image
• About Me

Article length

We suggest that any article you write be no less than 500 words and average around 2000 words. However, we are flexible on these points depending on the quality of the submission. As a basic rule, if you start repeating yourself in an article you know you have gone too far.

Most of our writer’s first write & spell check their articles in WORD and then copy over to our online article wizard.  The interface is very simple and designed to produce a clean, consistent and recognizable layout.

What is the difference between simple and advanced mode in the article edit screen?

We have provided two ways to enter your article:

• Simple mode - add an article
• Advanced mode – edit an article

There is not much difference between the two except that advanced mode will allow you to format the body of the article.

Note: The headline, sub-head and intro paragraphs are standardized and will use an invisible template.

This is to ensure every article has a certain consistency and allows the Editor hit the ground running when he puts together the paper edition.

What about Images, How do I attach them to the article?

There is a separate area to upload your images called Manage Images. For our paper edition we require images be 300 DPI. In certain cases we will accept photos that are at least 150 DPI. 

If your images are not a high enough DPI resolution our image uploader will reject them.

Please don't forget to upload an Author photograph to the 'Manage images' section as we cannot publish your article without this.

Remember: we need at least one good hi-resolution photograph to publish and we suggest you upload no more than 10 high quality photographs in total. These images must not be protected by any copyright. The author assumes full responsibility for use of any image that is not original.

Is there a separate area called ‘About Me’ which describes who the author is?

Yes. In order for us to go ahead and publish your article we will need you to update your online profile. This area includes an area called 'About Me'. You must complete this area in order for your article to pass publication criteria.  You can also update your author image in this area. You should do this first before adding or editing any new article.

What happens once I submit my article?

Once you have entered, saved and reviewed you article, you must notify the editor by email that your article is ready for review.  In the ‘My articles’ section of the online article wizard you will see a button called ‘notify editor’. Follow the prompts to send him an email notification.

Once he has reviewed your article he will add ‘Editor Notes’ to the top of your article either asking for more information or he will make the edits himself.

He will then assign a ‘confirmation date’ to your article including a page number reflecting which page your article will appear.

What is the significance of the field called ‘Special Instructions to the Editor’?

When you add or edit an article you can give special instructions to the editor at the bottom of the article in the field called ‘Special Instructions to the Editor’. These could include notes about accompanying illustrations, diagrams or the source of your information.   

The Editor will review these before authorizing or publishing your article.

Where will my article appear? Will it be paper or digital?

If your article is deemed good enough for publication it will be published in both the paper and digital edition.    The Editor will assign a publication date and page number in the ‘my articles’ section of your online account once he has authorized and reviewed your article.

Who do I contact if I have a technical issue?
