Submission Guidelines
Please keep in mind that your editorial is to be written in an unbiased, educational,
and informative format. This means the information could be taken to any professional in your particular field for use. You might want to consider answering different
questions that are asked of your facility or doctor each time you schedule a new client.
When you educate and inform perspective clients
on different areas of your particular
type of business, they will automatically choose you as the provider of those services.
The Women’s Journal editorial is a proven format that has worked well for our contributors
for over 31 years.
