Small Business Matters

Article Submission Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in submitting an article for publication in Small Business Matters.

We are interested in seeing well-written "how-to" articles, tips and hints, instructions, motivational and other articles that will allow our subscribers to gain knowledge that will help them succeed in their small business.

Our subscriber base is very small business owners with 10 or less employees. Many of our subscribers are solo professionals or micro businesses with only two or three employees.

Among the broad subject areas we cover are home office, small business, sales, marketing, human resources, legal and accounting issues, management, productivity, and computer technology in small and home-based businesses.

Articles should be about 500 words and written in a "tip sheet" format that allows our readers to quickly absorb the article content.

To submit your article, please send it via email as included text or as a Word attachment with no special formatting. We will gladly provide you with a PDF copy of the issue your article appears in if you include your name and address with your submission. These are typically distributed within 30 days of the end of the month of publication.

We only accept submissions from the original author of the articles or a publicist hired by the copyright owner. By submitting an article, you acknowledge that you are legally entitled to distribute the work and to allow it to be redistributed.

We do not pay for articles, and do not accept articles that are primarily advertisements. However, you may place a brief resource box and contact information at the end of your article. By submitting your article, you agree to allow us non-exclusive rights to use the article in our print and PDF version of Small Business Matters.

We appreciate your contribution to our publication but please do not send us tons of email asking when your article will run or whether it has run or when you will get your copies in the mail. We receive hundreds of submissions every week and are unable to respond to each request. If your article runs in our publication and you have provided us with an address, you will get three printed copies -- normally within 30 days after the end of the month of publication.

Sincerely,


Denise O'Berry
Publisher / Editor
