SO YOU WANT TO PUBLISH AN ARTICLE

This FAQ was prepared by the CALL Public Relations Committee to provide some guidelines to help you publish articles. Members of the committee are always available to assist you.

There are three steps to the process:

1) Writing
2) Submitting
3) Editing

STEP 1 - WRITING

First you must ask yourself some simple questions.
1) What interests you
2) What is new that you can tell someone about
3) What is your opinion about a new change
4) What kind of article do you want to write
5) How much time can you commit to this project
6) Who is your audience
7) What type of publication are you writing for (market your work to need of publication)

STEP 2- SUBMITTING

When it comes time to decide where to publish the article each publication has its own requirements or guidelines, such as work length, audience or topic. In the publishers guidelines you can find information such as what types of submissions are accepted and what regular columns appear in the publication.

STEP 3-EDITING

Once an article is submitted to a publication, it may be edited for size. Do not take this personally, that is the job of the editor. Most editors will discuss edits with you and will not make changes that you don't agree with.

We all look forward to seeing your article in print.
