SUBMITTING
AN INFORMATIONAL ARTICLE
The ability to submit informational or educational articles for publication is reserved for MCN associate and nonprofit members.
About Guest Articles: As another way that MCN helps educate our members about new trends and issues, we invite our associate members to submit informational articles, timely, relevant resources, and practical how-to applications to possibly be published in MCN’s quarterly newsletter, Nonprofit News, or online at www.mncn.org.
What We Look for in Articles: Articles submitted for publication should be informational rather than promotional. They should be timely or timeless, convey pertinent information about an issue in nonprofit management, and be educational to a broad range of nonprofit managers.
Review Process: MCN staff reviews all submitted articles. Articles are evaluated on the relevance of the topic, the amount of informational or educational material provided and the expertise of the author. MCN attempts to publish as many articles as possible that fit these requirements.
Two Methods of Publication Online and Print:
Online: MCN’s Web site, www.mncn.org
is one of the most visited nonprofit management resources on the Internet. It receives over 10,000 unique visitors each month. MCN posts informational articles as Tips of the Month (with a teaser on the site’s front page), and as resources within InfoCentral – MCN’s catalog of resource materials, samples, and informational articles. If your article is selected to appear online, it will remain up for a minimum of one year.
Nonprofit News: Nonprofit News is MCN’s quarterly newsletter mailed to more than 8,500 nonprofit and community leaders in Minnesota. It is filled with informational articles. One or two guest articles usually appear in each issue, depending on space availability.
How to Submit an Article: Articles must be submitted electronically by e-mailing MCN Communications and Marketing Manager Christine Durand at
cdurand@mncn.org . To be considered for a specific issue of Nonprofit News, articles must be received prior to the submission deadline.
The Fine Print: MCN reserves the right to edit or excerpt from any article submitted. You will be notified prior to publication if your submission will be used. MCN does not compensate guest authors or guarantee placement.
