Newsstand Submission Guidelines 


Hey! We didn’t sign up to serve as your
publicist! LOL!!!

When you write something for inclusion, please write it with the care you would take when submitting an article for publication. Check your writing for spelling, syntax, and grammar.
This is accomplished easily using tools like Microsoft Word or Grammarly for free.
We’ve identified a few in the Writing Tools Resource Section on our website.

Please use these simple guidelines when submitting your news to the Newsstand:

  • A deadline for submission will be published in each monthly Newsletter.

  • Keep content succinct — i.e., not too wordy.

  • Write a short news blurb (<= 50 words) and include a resizable PNG or JPG image of yourself (unless you’ve previously provided one) and any relevant URLs (not included in the word count).

  • When submitting news about an event, provide a title; names of speakers, panelists, etc.; event description; dates and times; locations; and relevant URL(s).

  • Help make your accomplishments accessible to readers. When referring to online resources (e.g., works you have published, interviews, book reviews, et. al.), include a link to the relevant content.

  • If you forget something or a change occurs, send a full rewrite of your updated news using the Newsstand Submission Form.
