  • No indents, extra spaces at the beginning of paragraph, etc.
  • Please send your work as a Microsoft Word-compatible file – no PDFs or pages. 
  • We welcome works of all lengths, but have a standard 600 word minimum.
  • If your article is significantly longer or shorter than that standard, please provide additional instructions or justification in your work. 
  • If you have photographs, graphics, or other media you would like to accompany your work, ensure that the media is properly attributed to its author.
