Congratulations on being invited to submit your work to Salience!

Your piece has been chosen for its quality and newsworthiness, and we hope you’ll now take a few minutes to pull together some additional information in order to be published. Please submit as much as possible of the material requested below and the Editors will contact you if they need more information, or you need help. If for example you don’t have any images to accompany a written piece, we can source these for you.

Submission formats:

Written submission – attach your submission in Word format. Hyperlinks to relevant background information may be included, but we don’t generally encourage academic references, unless there is a clear need for these. Please attach images in jpg or jpeg format as seperate files, provide captions/credits, and rename them appropriately so we can insert them into the article on the webpage. We cannot consider PDF documents.

Website submission – attach a Word document with a link to your site, a brief project description, and all production credits.

Video submission – attach a Word document with a brief description, all production credits, and a download link to Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.

Original images are preferable, but commons images from Pixabay, Freeimages, Unsplash or other copyright-free resources are acceptable with citation. For video submissions, a feature image is not required.
