THE MAGAZINE FOR BODY, MIND, SPIRIT & EARTH
Call For Writers

Synchronicity is interested in well-written articles on subjects relating to alternative health, wholistic living, and the body-mind-spirit-earth connection.

Article Guidelines

Writers may submit ideas by mail or e-mail. All submissions must include number of words, your name, mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address on your document if sent by email, or on every page if paper copy is submitted.

Once received, articles are considered by our editorial board and then recommendations made.

If your article is published, we offer you in return a 30-50 word credit/bio.

Sometimes articles will be used at a later date, so if there is an expiration date to your submission, please mark it clearly.

The article can be about our theme, but does not need to be as there are other sections in the magazine where it may be a good fit. If it is about the theme, please attempt to create a title that is not the same as the theme name.

All articles should be free of internal advertising. They should be stand alone articles, with information that the reader can walk away with.

We are part of the Alberta Magazine Publishers Association and follow strict guidelines regarding advertorial style articles.

Articles sent by e-mail can be sent as an attachment in Word format or included in the body of the email. Manuscripts will not necessarily receive a reply.

All articles printed in Synchronicity are copyrighted by the magazine. Permission to reprint elsewhere is readily available upon request by the author.

Photographs or Illustrations:
Send in both CMYK colour and greyscale. Scan in at 200 dpi; output as a TIFF file for PC.
 

Types of Articles

In Synch: These stories are topical, newsy or general interest articles, and are less than 400 words. Articles that we consider interesting may be held for a long time before there is a space for them.

Cover Story: Cover story articles relate to the featured theme for the issue. Cover story themes for upcoming issues are announced in the editorial. These articles are time-sensitive so they should be submitted as early as possible. Articles should typically be either 600 words or 1200 words in length but can be less.  Longer articles may be considered for the online version of Synchronicity Magazine.

Feature Articles: We occasionally run feature articles of 900 to 1600 words that are not part of the cover theme. It is a good idea to send a proposal: your idea, why you think itıs suitable for the magazine, an outline of what you think you would write and 2-3 paragraphs to give an idea of your writing style. It is also possible to send a finished article; be prepared to make changes to the article if requested to do so.

Other Articles: Articles for the Last Page column are needed in every issue. Topics vary according to the interest of the writer. 900 words. We are occasionally interested in book reviews (350-400 words). Book reviews should follow the style seen in the magazine and should include either a copy of the book or good quality image of the cover. (Be aware that most book reviews are assigned writing.)
