Doug M Hi Doug, Thanks for your interest in writing for ComputerWorld! Please find (below) a standard form that Peter Wolchak, ComputerWorld Editor, sends out to interested individuals. If you do decide to write for ComputerWorld, please inform Peter Wolchak and his staff that you are a CIPS member. It's a great way to increase CIPS' profile and a gentle reminder to ComputerWorld that many CIPS = members are also ComputerWorld readers! If there is anything else I can do for you, or if you would like to submit a short article for News From National (electronic newsletter), please do not hesitate to contact me directly by phone: (416)861-CIPS(2477) or=20 by e-mail: mylene@cips.ca. Have a great 'rest of the week' and a wonderful weekend!! I hope to hear from you again soon! Mylene - Mylene Sayo Public Relations Coordinator CIPS National Office -------- ComputerWorld Canada=C6s readership Our readers are technology professionals (system managers and architects, project managers, DBAs, programmers, etc.) who work in large Canadian companies. They tend to be senior people within their organizations, and are therefore interested both in straight technology information and in the management and use of technology. Column overview The quality of a column is based on two basic measures: its relevance to the reader and its readability. Columns must say something definite -- express an opinion, relate an informative experience, offer advice, etc. When a reader finishes a column, he/she should have learned something, been given something to think about, or either agree or disagree with the opinions expressed. Columns must also be well written. I am always willing to work with writers on this, if required. Specifics Length: columns are typically 500 to 600 words, although they can occasionally be longer if required. If a longer column is required please talk to me prior to writing. Fee: we pay $200 per column. Payment will be received within 30 days of publication. Submission: please send columns by e-mail, and please paste the column into the e-mail, rather than sending them as attachments. Invoices: please submit an invoice with each column. Invoices are a separate e-mail which includes your name and mailing address, the subject of the column, and the total ($200). Frequency: ideally, each columnist will send in a piece once a month, and will therefore be published once a month. Obviously, publication frequency varies with the number of columns that come in (if I suddenly receive 10 all at once, I can=C6t run them all immediately). Also, if you want to only write three or four a year that=C6s okay. Placement: most columns run on the Opinions page, but we also run columns in the other sections of the publication and that may be more appropriate for a specific piece. We will consult with the writer before publication if this is the case. Photos: we need a colour photo (headshot) of each columnist, either in electronic format (.bmp, .jpg., etc.) or a print. Column name: for regular columnists we will come up with a column name. For example, we currently have End-User Support, Above the Law, and Free for All. Bios: each column runs with a short biography: name, title and company if applicable, and an e-mail address.
