Writer's Guidelines
General Agreements & Policies
Submission of articles and confirmation of receipt of article is not a
statement of acceptance that the article will appear in choice. You will
be notified via email of acceptance of your article. We reserve the right
to change our submission and publication policies and timeframe as
appropriate.
Keep in mind that the magazine's lead-time is three months and submissions
should not be so time-bound that they will appear dated. If we, or another
publication, have run a similar story in the last few years, please
provide an explanation of how your story will differ. We assume no
responsibility for unsolicited queries or manuscripts.
Exclusive Publication Articles are accepted for publication on condition that they are
contributed solely to choice Magazine. Writers should secure all necessary
clearances and approvals prior to submission. Some articles are
peer-reviewed by other coaches or our Editorial Board members, in addition
to be edited. All accepted articles are subject to editing and are not
guaranteed publication. Occasionally we will consider reprinting articles
from other sources or publish book excerpts. Reprinted article or book
reprint ideas should be submitted as a query letter.
Editing choice reserves the right to edit all reader contributions for clarity or
length. Changes (sentence structure, punctuation, spelling, grammar,
syntax, lengths) will be made at the discretion of the editorial staff.
Article will be edited or rewritten as necessary to comply with our
editorial standards. All headlines, subheads, table of contents copy,
captions and other miscellaneous related editorial copy will be written
and edited with our editorial standards.
Illustrations, Photographs, Drawing, Charts & Graphs Illustrations, Photographs, Drawing, Charts & Graphs
Artwork to illustrate your article must be clear and distinct, submitted
in JPEG or TIFF format. All illustrations or photographs should be plainly
identified, with the top indicated. Captions or legends should be
submitted and identified separately and attached to the associated
material; they should be no more than 25 words. Places in text to which
this material refers must be clearly identified.
Photographs published in the magazine are usually obtained through stock
agencies or specialized sources. No photo library is maintained and
photographs should be submitted only to accompany a specific article
proposal. All submitted illustrations, photographs, drawings, charts and
graphs should be original material submitted by the writer or should
include credit or source and copyright information.
Length Our publication has main features and various columns. All articles
submitted will be considered for both feature and column placement. Total
length including sidebars should be 800 to 1,000 words. Those articles not
chosen for a particular issue of choice will be kept on file for future
consideration.
