Online Magazine Submissions for Rural Water Magazine

NRWA produces a quarterly publication to our members and Corporate Partners. We gladly accept any newsworthy articles for the review of our editorial staff. We do ask that the following guidelines be followed when submitting articles for consideration. 

1. NRWA does not regularly publish press releases from companies. You are welcomed to submit them, but please realize that their acceptance is not a general practice.
    

2. Only Microsoft Word documents are acceptable. If you have a graph or chart, please submit that in Microsoft Excel. Other formats may not be accessible by our editorial staff.
    

3. Submissions are accepted on a case-by-case basis – depending on editorial space available in each issue. NRWA develops their editorial schedule at least two months prior to publication, and will occasionally have additional space in the magazine. Please note that even though our editorial staff expresses interest in your article, available space may change once the publication goes to print. Please submit your articles at least 3 months prior to the publication you would like to see your article printed in.
    

4. Articles accepted into Rural Water Magazine are generally 600-1,000 words. Articles of larger or smaller sizes will be considered depending on available editorial space.
    

5. NRWA will not accept articles that are solely ‘marketing or public relations’ based. We accept articles that will be of interest to our general readership – those that teach, inform, or review new
   regulations receive top priority.
    

6. Photos can be submitted with your articles. Only jpeg, tiff or giff images are accepted.
    

7. Although the magazine is sent out quarterly, the editorial schedule is subject to change due to NRWA events that may be included in a particular issue.
    

8. Please include a contact name, address, email and phone number along with your submitted article.
    

9. Our editorial staff will contact you prior to the article being printed and confirmation will be made when the publication goes to print.
    

10. If your article is accepted, NRWA will gladly send you 3 complimentary copies of the Rural Water Magazine for your records.
     

11. Articles submitted may be edited prior to publication. You will be notified of any changes made prior to print for your approval.
