- Prompts may be summary shares on a particular industry topic, may be less than 300 words, and provide a link to an online resource or share that the prompts is referencing.
- Articles must be submitted in a Microsoft Word document and should be on a particular industry topic and 600 words or less in length (except for an occasional special feature). Keep your article brief and to the point, since readership time and attention is limited. Be brief, and you’ll have a better chance of holding the reader’s attention. If your article is too long, the editor may cut portions.
- Consider your audience. Would RFT members really be interested in this? Make sure your jargon is not so technical that it will baffle your readers. Articles that read like an ad or promotion for your company won’t make it into print.
- Include the author’s name, affiliation (who they work for), and contact information.
- Avoid editorializing (expressing your opinions as facts). Just stick to the facts of the story.
- Run spell check and word count on your article before sending it. Renewable News prefers articles that need little to no proofing. Articles not meeting the criteria will be sent back to the author for revision.
- Don’t have time to write an article, or don’t think of yourself as a great writer?
- Just submit a list of facts – who, what, where, when, how, & why – about your subject, and the newsletter editor will develop a story for you. If you’re writing the article, be sure to include answers to those same questions.
