This is general guidance for anyone wanting to write for Tamworth Heritage Magazine. In short we would rather have something than nothing, so all submissions welcome. |
This guide is available to download. Click here |
The more of the guidelines below you can work with the easier it gets for The Editor. However, if you are not sure email the editor and ask. The team have a lot of experience, access to databases of information and images. If in any doubt please email the editor@taworthheritage.org.uk rather than not write an article. |
Letters to the Editor: These can be any length but we reserve the right to edit. If they get much over a couple 100 words then they are starting to become an article. Several of our articles, and indeed one series started as a letter [email] to the editor. |
Articles: These should be 1,000-3000 words, in English with English/UK (not US/American) spelling. |
References and citations: Whilst the magazine is not academic we do prefer that where possible there are references and citations for things. These should be as end-notes i.e. all listed at the end of the article. |
For academics and historians given the complexity of different sources we recommend you use the additional Notes and Bibliography Guide https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/book/ed17/part3/ch14/toc.html |
Books: Tamworth Heritage Magazine works closely with a publisher to produce both on-line PDF books and printed books. If you are looking at writing a book on history of anything from family to a king, the corner shop to a regiment email the editor@TamworthHeritage.org.uk |
