Formatting Requirements
Images
Though they are not required, images are perfect for grabbing the reader’s attention. So, please feel free to attach a couple. If there are too many for us to choose from then we will choose the one(s) most relevant to the article.
Some things to consider when choosing an image:
- Images must be a minimum of 200 pixels wide
- You must have permission to use an image, or use one with no copyright issue.
- If you cannot find an image to use, we will find one for you!
Article Length
Typically, most articles can be any length, but we recommend somewhere between 400 – 750 words. Keep in mind that articles that are too lengthy may be overlooked by some readers; however, if the article is well-written there is no max length for a post.
Editing
If there is a need for any editing to be done to an article then we will either provide notes for revision or we will edit the post ourselves. We will not change an entire article, but we may fix grammatical errors, make title changes, select other images, and so on.
Exclusivity & Copyright
In submitting an article to us, we assume that the post is exclusively for us at MilitarySpot.com. We request original works with exclusive rights for 30 days. You may not reproduce the article on any other websites during the 30 days; however, you may write on the same topic elsewhere. Please, keep each article unique!
In-Post Linking
Links are allowed in your articles as long as they are relevant to your topic. Self-linking is allowed, but only in your byline, and leave no affiliate links in the body of your article. Also, link to any of the sources used so that they may receive proper credit for their works as well.
Byline
This is all about self-promotion! We want to help support our guest writers so do not forget your byline! We will allow up to 3 links but again, no affiliate links or links to junk sites. Do not use this space for adspace or spam!
Once Published
When an article is published, we will send a notification to the e-mail the submission is made from. We will promote your article on all of our social channels, so be sure to help promote your article via your social media sites as well! Facebook, StumbleUpon, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, and Digg are just a few places that come to mind.
