Water Safety Magazine Writer Submission Guidelines

Water Safety Magazine focuses on drowning prevention, and being safe in and around water. It serves the worldwide community in general to cover information about water safety. The mission is to educate, inform, have fun, and save lives, by producing an unique, and high-quality magazine to further educate and create awareness for the general public to be involved in water safety practices in order to contribute to reduce drowning around the world and help save lives.

Water Safety is strongly looking for experienced freelance writers to contribute to the magazine. But we will also work with not so experienced or unpublished writers as well. We do encourage and prefer queries sent by e-mail. These should be sent to editorial(at)watersafetymagazine(dot)com . Submissions should adhere preferably to standard AP Style at all possible and preferably should be sent in a Microsoft Word e-mail attachment. Due to the large number of queries we are receiving; please realize it may take a few days or more to receive a reply to your query. Make sure your contact information is up to date, accurate, with full name, title, company/organization (if any), and contact number clearly visible so that we can reach you by phone if necessary.

We are interested in providing fresh articles, and be original source. But if you (the author) are interested in submitting an article previously printed/published on another online news, online blog, or online type magazine site, we can certainly consider it, and the words "Reprinted with Permission" will be added.

FEATURES: One of our goals is for the magazine to also provide “featured articles” that are well written, well researched, citing resources, written in an intelligent and lively voice, and compelling language that avoids the traditional informal blog style or use of clichés and “fluff.”
