What should be included with my submission?

• Article in Word format
• Short bio telling the reader about yourself and your experiences (see previous newsletters for examples)
• Photo of the author(s) in PNG or JPEG format 
• Figures in the original PC compatible file (Excel, Word, etc.)
• Two to three quotes from the article that are 30 words or less that you deem as key points (we will potentially highlight these in the newsletter)
• Keywords

How should my article be formatted?

• 2-6 pages of content (excluding figures and references) single spaced
• One space between paragraphs with no indentation at the start of a new paragraph
• Two spaces after each period
• References in APA format
• Indicate within the article where you would like figures to be placed
• Include figure captions either within the document or at the end
• Save the file as the first author’s last name (e.g. Mawhinney.doc)
