Confident Women magazine
Article Submission Guidelines
for members/contributors
January 2009

Thank you for your interest in Confident Women magazine. Following are guidelines for submitting content for consideration. Well-written articles and high quality photos with complete caption information will have a better chance of being included in our publication.

Editorial Content:

Articles should be educational, inspirational, or provide community awareness. They may not be featured as a direct company endorsement and company names should not be used in the article. Any advertising benefit will come from having the writers' name and company information at the conclusion of the article.

(Note: If a company name appears in an article, it will be classified as an advertorial and a full- page ad rate will apply.)

• Articles should not be written in the first person perspective.

• Please write in a professional manner, using proper punctuation and grammar. Should you require the assistance of a professional writer, please consult our member directory to locate one. If you are not a writer or do not have experience writing material for magazines,
  it may be worthwhile to pay for a well-written piece.

• Word counts should be approximately 250 or 500 words, unless you have been specifically asked to write a feature article for the magazine.

Articles will be reviewed, accepted, or declined by our editorial team. However, all articles will be kept on file for possible reconsideration for future issues or for use on our web sites at www.woamtec.com or www.confidentwomenmagazine.com.

Notable Achievements:

If you've recently received an award, promotion, or reached a milestone in your career or personal life, please let us know. Notable Achievement submissions will be selected at the discretion of the editor, will be based on the level of achievement and community advocacy, and will not specifically promote a product or service.

Photographs:

Photos may be used to illustrate an article, if applicable. We also welcome photos of members participating in charitable and community activities.

Please submit high-resolution photographs in a .jpg format.

Captions should include:

• Names of all people within the photo and titles or affiliations, as applicable.
• Name of event or setting.
• Date of event or setting.
• Purpose of event.
• If a fundraiser, amount of money raised, legal name of the charity money was donated to and

      if appropriate, information about the charity.

Photo submissions must be accompanied by a photo credit or copyright release by the photographer. Photos of minor children under the age of 18 must include permission from their legal guardian, in writing, in order to be considered.
