Article length

Each article should be approximately 1000 words in length.
Multi-part articles can appear in the same issue or in consecutive issues. Each part should be approximately 1000 words in length and the author should state his/her preference.

Publication Date

Publication dates can vary.

Publication Deadline

We work about four weeks in advance to keep content up to date. All articles for publication must be submitted 4 weeks before publication date of the issue in which you want the article published.
This is especially important when submitting date sensitive or seasonal articles.

Contributing Editors

We are interested in building up a small team of regular contributing editors.
The contributing editors can and will influence the content of the magazine and their personalities will be reflected in their own regular columns.
As PROJECTmagazine matures we will become more selective in content and quality of the written word.
