1. Articles must be created and written by the author named in the article, and not copied from another source without appropriate permission. Those sources must be identified and attributed within the article.

• We appreciate first print opportunities, and also want you to know that we give you the right to reprint your articles elsewhere. We encourage you to mention our website as the source for the initial printing.
• Reprint articles will be accepted only if the author retains the copyright, or has received written permission from the publisher to offer the article for reprint.
• We are also interested in green videos.

2. Articles must be focused and well written. They can range from a minimum of 400 words, up to 2000 words. We encourage authors to provide a catchy title. The article must also include a short bio with contact information.

• If you include web links in your article, use the full website address so that we can find the referenced page to ensure proper linking.

3. We do not generally accept articles designed to promote a commercial product or service. If we think that an article is publishable but contains promotional content, we will request that the author resubmit the article after those references are removed or reworded.

• We are happy to accept press releases and news stories about products and services.

  • Please let us know which category you feel your submission best represents.
  • Help to further define the type of content offered in your submission by adding 'tags' or 'keywords' that best reflect what your article/ video is about.

4. All articles must be submitted by the author, or an authorized agent (staff member, agency, etc.) of the author.

•  WE PREFER & PRIORITY IS GIVEN to articles submitted to us using the online form provided on the current webpage you are viewing.
• IF YOU CANNOT use the online form we ask that you forward via email your article as a MS Word document attached to an email and submit to { editor @ myBIGearth.com }  The document should be single-spaced, with blank lines (i.e., hard carriage returns) between paragraphs. Use 12-point Times or Times New Roman type.

5. myBIGearth reserves the right to reject an article for any reason. We also reserve the right to edit the article, the bio, and the title.

• We DO NOT pay for articles. However, we do encourage authors to mention the article’s publication through their blogs, Facebook pages, twitters, etc. to generate traffic to the article and increase the likelihood of a high ranking on Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.
• We strive to tell authors when their article will be featured, but cannot guarantee inclusion in the month that we originally specified.
