HONOR PUBLISHING COMPANY SUBMISSION
GUIDELINES
AND EDITORIAL POLICIES We happily solicit news about
Scouting, Scouts, and adult leaders (known as Scouters) and what they are doing to make
their program work. We also, accept news reports and press releases about Scouting or
other youth groups to include in Scouter's
Digest Magazine. We encourage reviews of Scouting websites, publications, and
material, and stories about your Scouting program and successes. Please note the
following submission guidelines and editorial policies:
 | When submitting copy, such as a news release or news item, send it directly to the
editor with a contact person's name and phone number. Submissions are accepted via e-mail,
attachment, or good old U.S. Postal Service (Snail Mail). All submissions will be
acknowledged by either e-mail, in writing, or with a phone call. (Do not fax or
e-mail a submission and send the corresponding photograph through the mail. Please
submit all materials at the same time.) |
| Materials for inclusion in the magazine are due on the first of the month, two months
prior to the magazine's publishing date. (For instance, March 1 is the deadline for the
May/June issue; May 1 is the deadline for the July/August issue; etc.) |
| Original black-and-white or color photos (no photocopies, please) should be sent free of
staples, paper clips or tape. (No date stamps, please.) Pictures should be identified with
the name of the Scout(s), Scouting Unit, or event and a description of what is going
on in the picture. Be sure to also identify all people in the photo. Avoid writing on the
back of the photo. Photos cannot be returned. |
| Computer generated graphics or scanned photos should be submitted in "TIF"
format at a minimum 300 dpi. (72 dpi webshots are not acceptable) |
| To be considered for inclusion in the "Service Projects" section, send
complete details of a troop, pack, or Eagle project that gained media coverage and any
articles, stories, or news clippings of the event. Actual media clips and photos should
also be included. |
| Keep in mind that sometimes important current Scouting news "bumps" other
information, so several months can elapse between the time news is submitted and when it
appears in the magazine. Every attempt will be made to let the author know when their
articles will appear. |
| Magazine submissions are subject to the editorial style, tone and discretion of the
editor. The editor reserves the right to modify, lengthen, shorten, or change any
submission with-out the prior consent of the author. |
