Do You Have a Story to Share?
We love hearing from our readers! Your insights, suggestions, and stories help shape GRAND magazine into a publication that truly reflects our diverse community. Whether you have feedback on a recent article, ideas for future topics, or personal experiences to share, please reach out to us at editor@grandmagazine.com
Guidelines for Editorial Submissions
If you have a story or news item you would like to submit to GRAND, please e-mail your story here. (editor@grandmagazine.com)
- We ask that you please spell-check your item, and keep in mind that we do not publish hate speech, etc. Please include a brief bio, and a recent photo of yourself, or other details and background about your story including any relevant photos.
Read GRAND magazine, listen to the voices and the messages. Then, find a story or an idea that directly relates to the role of grandparenting and/or the relationship between grandparents and their adult children “the parents” and everything and anything about grandchildren.
Our readers are also interested in travel, finance, education, technology, nutrition, health/fitness, climate change, books, gun safety, looking good, feeling good, caregiving, caring for our parents, entertainment and leaving a legacy; you name it.
When you have found a topic, ask yourself two questions: what is this about? And what is this about, really? Then…Answer those two questions to me, in an e-mail (editor@grandmagazine.com) and knock my socks off.
Often, I’m asked questions such as:
- Preferred word length – As GRAND is a digital magazine, we look for articles in a 300-450 word range but just tell the story. We have a great editor; she’ll worry about length.
- What issue will this appear in? – Who knows? Our magazine content is chosen, by our editorial review team, to meet an organic standard and each issue has a very different personality. Your piece will appear when it is exactly right.
- What about photographs? – The more you send with a piece that needs photographs, the happier we are, even if we don’t use them. We like to have options. Remember, parents must approve all images of their children to be published.
- Do I need to include websites and other resource information in the article, as applicable? Yes, yes, yes. The more links and video/podcast potential and purchasing information and research data, etc. that we make accessible to the reader, the more we’re doing our job.
- How quickly will you reply to my query? – If you don’t hear from me within 48 hours, something (like spam-control) has interfered. Try again.
- Are you happy to hear from new writers? – Immensely. It’s the most exciting part of the job…because there’s always the chance that there’s an idea coming that will make my day!
We are a writer’s magazine. We welcome you!
Thank you!
Christine Crosby – Editorial Director – ccrosby@grandmagazine.com
