SUBMIT YOUR ARTICLES FOR THE NSA-NYC WEBSITE
Do you have an article you'd like to see on our website? Here are the
guidelines as posted by Don Gabor, the articles editor. You'll find these
guidelines on the right hand side of the homepage. Send articles and
inquries to don@dongabor.com
These guidelines are intended to help save time and create polished articles
for the NSA website. Please read and follow these suggestions.
Submit articles that are:
- Pre-approved by the on-line editor based on a one-page query letter or
prior telephone conversation. Submit queries via email in attached files in
MS Word. If you are using a MAC, first name and save your file with a .doc
extension (salestips.doc). Then attach it to your email.
- Edited and proofread (preferably by a professional editor) for
grammar, sense, and clarity.
- Doubled-spaced, in Times New Roman 12-point with one-inch margins.
- No longer than 3 pages, or about 1200-1500 words.
- Packed with useful information and specific examples for speakers.
- Titled to reveal the benefits to the readers.
Triple-check your articles for:
- Awkward or confusing language and jargon
- Grammatical correctness
- Correct numbering of points
- Accurate quotes with attributions
- Correct spelling of all names and companies
- Correct dates and contact information
Please do not submit articles that are:
- First drafts (No "slop-jobs" please!)
- Rambling stories or long, personal anecdotes
- Blatant self-promotional full of hype
I highly recommend reading "The Elements of Style" by William Strunk, Jr.
and E.B. White. This little book (72 pages; $7.95) is the best reference a
writer can have for usage, composition, commonly misused words and
expressions, and approaches to style.
I'm looking forward to reading your articles for the NSA website.
Don Gabor
[Editor's note: To give you an idea of what Don is looking for, here is a

Don Gabor.]
