Submission Guidelines
 
We prefer to read a manuscript, not a draft. While your article is under review, we ask that you not submit it to another publication or post it on a website, even your own, until the review process is completed. Articles submitted should not be previously published, either in print or electronic form.
 
Articles
 
Articles should exhibit a passion for sharing information in an uplifting, positive, and practical manner. Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy of citations, quotations, figures, and facts. Articles are accepted via mail, but preferably via e-mail. Article text should be in digital format (Microsoft Word). Byline given must be included in your manuscript. In order to receive a copy of the issue containing your article, please include your mailing address.
 
When we review manuscripts in compiling an issue, we consider many factors, such as the balance of perspectives, locations, and topics. You will be notified if your manuscript is selected for publication. Please submit articles to: mail@qviewnorthwest.com.
 
Writer’s Fees
 
Feature articles are an average of 1,400 – 1,600 words and we offer $0.05 a word. Other articles are an average of 500 – 1,000 words and we offer $0.05 a word. Payment is given immediately after the issue has been released. A copy of the news magazine and the writer’s fee will be mailed to the author.
 
We do not reimburse articles prepared and submitted by an author that serves to benefit, enhance, and encourage our readers to support their company and/or services. The same applies for individuals who represent that company. We do not make any payments for press release articles or advertorials.
 
Photos With Your Article
 
Photos are highly encouraged. Please state availability of photos with your article submissions. Identification of photo subjects is required. Include a text file when submitting photos with the filename and description of the photo. High resolution jpeg or tiff files only. A minimum of 300 DPI image is needed for quality print.
