WRITER'S GUIDELINES

The Door Opener is published four times each year. Editorial content of each issue includes six to nine articles plus several regular columns prepared by The Door Opener staff. A theme is chosen for each issue and authors/articles are selected to support the theme. Generally we choose holistic health themes for the Winter and Summer issues and metaphysical/spiritual themes for the Spring and Fall issues.

Writers preferably live in Connecticut. Since the magazine is about and only distributed in Connecticut we prefer to provide opportunities for those who live here. We happen to have an abundance of wonderful authors here in Connecticut, so we ask that authors wait approximately one year before contributing to another issue.

Articles must be educational, not self promotional. We do not accept articles promoting individual businesses, products or speakers.

We rarely are able to publish unsolicited articles. We suggest that if you would like to be included in a future issue you let us know the subjects you are interested in writing on. We keep a list and use it to help choose themes and select writers.

1- Articles should be about 1500 words, although this is a broad target.

2- We prefer that they be sent as an e-mail attachment to thedooropener@comcast.net and that a hardcopy be mailed so we understand your preferred layout.

3- We encourage you to provide photos or other graphics. We can take photos as an attachment, but please be sure they are high resolution or they will look grainy.

4- If you mail in photos they can be scanned, sized and cropped and will be returned to you unharmed.
