What's next? I submitted an Article in the past, what makes this
any different? What happened to my Article, it didn't get Published
and some simple answers to questions about this call for articles.
Your ABANA Board of Directors is always looking for good articles to submit for
publication. Both the Anvil's Ring and the Hammer's Blow print an on going call
for your articles for publication. If you submitted an article in the past, "Thanks",
here is what makes this "Call for Articles" different. Your ABANA Board of Directors
is asking for articles to be submitted directly to the Publications Committee.
The usual route for submitting an article is to the editors of the Anvil's Ring and the
Hammer's Blow. If you submitted an article in the past that didn't get published, pull
it out of the dusty corner, polish it up and try it again by contacting the Publications
Committee. The article that was submitted and didn't get published may have needed
a little help and the ABANA Board of Directors is ready willing and able to assist in
developing, polishing and generally working with you to help make your article worthy
of publication.
The bottom line, it's a win - win situation, the members get to see your article, your
publication improves, the editors have good content, you get published, the Board
plays an active roll in article review........................after all it's your publication and
you can make a difference!!
Oh I can hear those keyboards tapping and those shutters clicking!! Come on
members............"Get Published"!!
