Author Guidelines
Would you like to write an article?
All resort management and operations professionals, service or product manufacturers and suppliers are invited to submit articles at askMANDO.com and Resort Trades Management and Operations magazine. We welcome all contributors who have something relevant and objective to tell our industry partners.
Editorial Guidelines:
The Trades Publishing Company, Inc. (The Trades) reserves the right to accept or reject any editorial submission.
The Trades may edit your article for punctuation, grammatical and typographical errors.
Articles should be editorial in nature, not an advertisement for your business. Be objective and concentrate on useful trends, techniques and issues facing our industry. If you wish to place advertising with your article, contact Kristie Irvin at 931.484.8819.
Articles should contain from 500 to 1,250 words and be submitted in electronic form (email resort@thetrades.com) if possible. We can work with most formats.
For articles that feature photos, use studio quality photographs at least 5” x 7” in size, or provide digital images that are 300 dpi at actual size. If you have questions, email carrie@thetrades.com or call 931.484.8819 and ask for the layout department.
If you have an idea for an article and want to discuss the relevance of the topic with the creative director or director of publications, we can be reached at 931.484.8819, or email resort@thetrades.com.
Articles we select are usually published within two months of receipt. If you want the article to appear in a particular issue, be sure to submit your copy (text) at least 60 days ahead of the desired issue. We cannot promise, but we will try to accommodate these requests.
Generally, we do not publish articles that have appeared in other media. We will however, consider printing works that are truly relevant to our readers.
Should The Trades determine that a manuscript does not fit our criteria for publishing, we may return it to you with suggestions for editing and re-submission.
Please provide your name, company name, title, address, phone number, email address and website address with your article. Also include a brief three sentence bio about yourself and/or your company.
Thank you!
