WRITING STYLE
The best article is one that everyone can understand and answers all the questions posed. It should examine a current topic or new product/technique, exploring various facets of the issue and including input from practitioners and industry spokespersons. If your topic is of a general nature, try to include a sidebar (a shorter piece) on a specific angle. The average length for an article is 1,800 to 2,400 words. Please query first with a written proposal (about two paragraphs) emailed to ronnie.garrett@cygnuspub.com. Email or call if you would like to discuss the details in more depth. Expect a response of 2 to 4 weeks on queries and 2 months on manuscripts.
Articles must include a short bio of the author and two lines about their expertise in the field or the company they are employed by. Photos with captions should also accompany the article, when there are images available. The article should also include a working headline, deck, suggested pull quotes and subheads within the text.
LET is always looking for good photographs to accompany articles. The photos can be 35mm slides and color transparencies, color prints or high-resolution (300 dpi) digital images. Digital images should be in JPEG or TIF format and should not be contained within the Microsoft Word document.
FORMAT
Stories can be submitted either on a 3 1/2-inch floppy disk, CD or through email. Our preferred program is Microsoft Word, but we can translate other word processing software. Please do not format the copy in any way. Include on all submissions your address, daytime phone number, fax number and email.
