TURTLE TRACKS SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The deadline is the 20th of the month preceding the issue date, which is the first of every month.
Send documents and photos to Ron Haines at the address above. Make sure the subject line of your email says “Turtle Tracks” and includes a description of your article. Attach everything, text, photos, graphics, to the same email. DO NOT embed your photos into text documents.
Expectations: Your submission must be readable and accurate. Maximum length is 300 words. You must provide a suggested headline and please check EVERYTHING for accuracy before submission. Full, complete and correct URL’s are required for any links. Remember that this is a Sierra Club Loxahatchee Group publication. Any policy positions or opinions taken in your submission must be in accord with Sierra Club policy. If you have any questions about that please contact the Group Chair.
All Text: Should be in the form of a plain text or Word document. No fancy formatting is necessary or desired. All text gets unformatted before it gets rebuilt in the Marketing Cloud software used to compose the Turtle Tracks email.
Photos and Graphics: Can be .jpg, .jpeg, or .png. Maximum length or width should be 500 pixels. We can crop, reformat and resize photos if you need assistance. Please provide a caption.
