Anyone may submit to Engage and MPI Potomac FYI any original article that he or she has written. It will be published and edited at the discretion of the Engage and MPI Potomac FYI Editors. Statements of fact and opinion within the newsletter are the responsibility of the author only and do not imply an opinion of the officers or members of MPI/MPI Potomac. Avoid one-sided or promotional pieces. Articles are to be informative and/or educational and be beneficial to the MPI Potomac membership as a whole.
The better columns contain real news and information. The worst articles don't. Try to avoid fluff in your content. Try to keep article length to less than 500 words or less, but don't let that limit you. Your article will be edited as needed.
Your article should include the five Ws and H: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. Begin with the strongest of these elements, the one that has the most benefit to MPI Potomac members. This grabs the reader's attention faster.
All submissions MUST be sent to the Director of Publications, Brian Monahan bmonahan@prestigeav.com for inclusion in Engage or MPI Potomac FYI. If articles are sent elsewhere we can’t guarantee placement. Questions? Please direct them to the Director of Publications.
The Publications committee reserves the right to edit articles due to space needs. If the Committee is not aware that you are submitting an article and we run over on copy for that particular month your article may be held for a future edition. We will be sure to inform you if this occurs.
