Footprint Submission Guidelines and Suggestions:
Thank you very much for considering contributing an article to the Footprint. The Footprint is a newsletter that highlights the personal stories of our club and its members. The entire extended RAW Family has a special appreciation for this publication and as such it is more than a simple newsletter. Every article in the Footprint is a contribution from a RAW Member and without these compositions, our Footprint cannot really tell the story of our club. The following is a set of guidelines and suggestions for preparing an article for the Footprint.
Submission Guidelines:
1. All submissions must be from current RAW Members.
2. The deadline for submissions is the 1st of the month prior to publication. Example: For the next Publication date of March, the Editor must receive submissions no later than February 1st. The FOOTPRINT is published bi-monthly, the FOOTPRINT is scheduled for publication in Jan - Mar - May - July - Sept - Nov.
3. Please try to limit submission length to 500 - 750 words. Please submit your article in Microsoft Word format and please run a spelling/grammar check prior to submitting. Staying within the submission length guidelines allows us sufficient space to publish everyone's contribution.
4. Please include a picture if available. Please submit the picture in .jpg format, do not embed it in the Word document. If you submit a picture, please identify what it is, i.e. event, date, names, people, etc.
5. All submissions to the Footprint become the property of the Footprint for publication and subsequent reproduction and distribution; and are subject to editorial review and corrections for content, length, and grammar prior to publication.
Article Submission Suggestions:
Try and make the submission as personal as you can. Some questions that can be answered are: why you decided to choose this event, what milestones you hit in training for it, how you felt during the race, what specific points had emotional impact for you during the run, and what the finish meant to you. Try to resist the urge to present a mile-by-mile description and focus instead on what made this race special for you; this is what RAW Members love to read.
