Submit

Ecocities Emerging accepts submissions of articles, editorials, and other written pieces. To help streamline the editorial process, please adhere to the following style guidelines when submitting.

Formatting:
– Submit files as Microsoft Word documents, RTF, HTML, or pasted into the body of an email.
– Please make sure formatting is simple and consistent, especially when copy-pasting from a different word processing application.
– You may also simply provide a link to an existing online article you would like us to re-post.
– Please keep your article under 1,500 words.

Images:
Visual aids are encouraged in your submission. At least one featured image is needed (we will pick one if none is submitted). Please include images in one of two ways:
– Embedded in-line in your document, with any captions, exactly as you wish them to appear.
– Attached separately in email with clear indication of placement in the article. Please title images consistently.
– Image files should be at least 800 pixels wide.

Spelling and grammar:
– Submission should be thoroughly checked for spelling and grammar errors.
– Both Standard American and British spellings are accepted.
– Ecocities Emerging will provide only cursory copy editing.
– Our editor may suggest changes to the structure, language, or length of the article. The editor will approve these changes with the author of the article before publishing.

Content:
The Ecocities Emerging editor will evaluate the submission on the following standards:
– Relevance to the Ecocity mission and issues—urbanism, design, architecture, sustainability, resilience, nature, and social justice.
– Coherent, well organized thesis.
– Novel position, idea, or approach.
– Lack of incendiary language, cursing, or ranting.
– Strong citation of sources and thorough research whenever possible.
