Story ideas and finished articles. We consider article ideas as well as finished articles. If your idea is accepted, our editor will work with you to develop the finished article. If you choose to submit a completed manuscript, please note that submission does not guarantee publication nor does acceptance of a manuscript guarantee that it will be published.
Exclusive use of material. Articles submitted for review and publication may not be submitted to other publications or websites during our review process. Authors agree not publish the same or substantially similar material with a competitive magazine or its website for three months (90 days) following publication on DifferentiateMag.com.
Selection criteria. The editors look for articles that have a “take-away” value to the reader — something readers can implement to make their practices more successful. Selection criteria include a how-to focus; timeliness of information; appropriateness; accuracy; originality; quality of writing; and value to the reader from an economic, marketing, and practice-management point of view.
Nonproprietary. Articles cannot mention nor promote specific products, services, or companies. All manuscripts must be unbiased and free from commercial or product-centered references, but in the author’s bio at the end of the article can contain company references and a link to drive readers to a company website or contact info.
Length and style of articles. The ideal length of articles for DifferentiateMag.com should be a “fast-read”—between 600-900 words, including any sidebars or breakout boxes. Longer articles, however, will be considered.
Contact information. Please include two or three sentences about yourself at the end of the submitted article. Include any experience or credentials directly related to the topic of your article, your place of employment and title, and any contact information that you would like us to publish.
Editing. All material will be edited to conform to our publication style and format.
Contributor’s agreement. All writers must sign a contributor’s agreement prior to the publication of any article. Among other things, the agreement gives Differentiate Magazine the right to work with and direct the author to edit, revise, augment, re-title, and adapt all articles as the publisher may deem appropriate. Under the agreement, we have the right and license under all copyrights throughout the world to publish the articles in the print, pdf, filpbook, and website versions of the magazine. The writer retains the copyright to their work and provides Differentiate Magazine a non-exclusive license to offer the content in the various versions of the magazine until rescinded in writing.
