Publication Guidelines
Publications Submission Guidelines
Last year, the Chanticleer grew to be lengthy enough that it was becoming a less effective communication tool. So this year, we will be strict in following word limit guidelines listed below. If your article is too long, we need to cut it from the bottom; we do not have the staff resources to excise words throughout an article for you. So please take a little bit of time to edit your work to create a clear, concise message so we don’t have to hack it off at the bottom. Ouch!
Thanks for your cooperation as we strive to provide good communications tools.
Chanticleer:
- Deadline: third Monday of the month at 9:00 a.m. to sharon.murphy@ uumilwaukee.org.
- Copy your staff liaison. Authors should copy their committee staff liaison when submitting articles.
- All articles must include the author’s name.
- Word limit guidelines:
Articles and announcements – 250-300 words.
Advertisements – 50-150 words; jpeg or gif files of graphics; no PDFs. We will accept rough designs but they may not be PDFs; we must be able to manipulate the file.
- No stand-alone flyers for programs. But we can design an ad for you.
- If you are over the word limit, we’ll edit for length by cutting from the bottom.
Chanticleer assembly volunteers: Wednesdays at 1:00 p.m. of the deadline and production week. Please contact Sharon Murphy if you’d be interested in joining the team.
E’nnouncements:
- Deadline: every Thursday at 9:00 a.m. to sharon [dot] murphy
uumilwaukee [dot] org (subject: E-nnouncement) (sharon.murphy@uumilwaukee.org). - Highlights events within two weeks.
- Rich in website links for more details.
- Word limit: 75 words. We’ll edit for length by cutting from the bottom.
