Writer's Guidelines
Topics:
I am looking for people who would like to share their experience of Alzheimer's disease. Do you have Alzheimer's or
do you care for someone with it, or work in that area? Could you write an article or
short story to share with others on this site? Maybe you have a tip, an idea or
a way of doing things that could be of practical benefit to others? Maybe you
can tell us what it's like coping, or working with strategies that help you dealing with the
emotional aspects of this life changing
condition.
Please note: I do not accept articles designed principally to promote a product or service.
Format: Publications should be between 300 - 1500 words in length using Verdana 10 font. Longer articles should contain
sub-headings. Relevant tips, supporting material and links to web sites are particularly welcomed. Summary points and easily
digestible chunks of information are preferred.
Editing: The Alzheimer's guide Guide reserves the right to edit your submission for clarity, style, and format. In submitting
an article you understand that you will not have final review rights before your article is published.
Payment: About Alzheimer's Disease does not pay for articles. All authors receive a brief biography that includes links to
your web site and your email. This is published with your article.
Author Rights: If you are submitting a potential feature article, we request exclusive worldwide electronic rights to publish the article at the About Men's Health site for thirty days. About.com and Christine Kennard, Alzheimer's Disease Guide, retain non-exclusive rights after thirty days to archive your article on the site and all other rights as stated in the disclaimer below, which you must submit to be published. At no point do you lose your rights to your work.
If you have written a paper that you feel is perfect for the site and it has been published elsewhere online, please email the Guide. If the distribution has been narrow, your piece might still merit consideration for publication here.
Submission: Use this form to submit content and material for consideration or follow the email instructions below the form. If you do not hear from me within five working days, please email me to make sure your submission was received.
