Submissions/Contact
Style guide for submission:
-Use existing pieces on SM as a guide for styling your own pieces. Keep it professional and insightful. The operating dictum for submission: Not Yet Another Blog Post. Length is not the chief concern.
-Cite material that you rely on. Give links to the quotes you source. You don’t have to use a formal citation system–just provide intext links.
-Some humor is fine, but try and keep excessive Jezebel-esque snark to personal blogs.
-Pseudonyms are understandable: ‘Harold Bates’ is acceptable, ‘zippitydragon33′ is not. Some exceptions will be considered.
-We only accept final drafts as submissions, as the editors are too busy to vet idea pitches.
We reserve the right to edit the content and modify the title as we see fit, but we’re writers as well as editors, so it won’t be all that painful. If a significant portion of the piece needs to be edited, we’ll just send it back to be rewritten.
When sending submissions, style your subject line: ‘Submission: title goes here’.
