Suggestions for a Successful Article
For best results, keep your article pithy and of an appropriate length:
- under 100 words for the Order of Service and Calendar; under 200 words for Events, Weekly Newsletter and News and Announcements.
- under 500 for the Quarterly Magazine
Especially when choosing multiple publications with different size limits, begin your text with the most important information first and work down to the least. Answer the questions who, what, where, what time, why, and how within the first 100 words in the article. For example, start out with something like:
- “The Book Club meets on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the UUFSD library.”
