All Wesleyans students, faculty and staff are welcome to contribute. Guidelines for submission are as follows:


News
News submissions must be complete, written in clear and accurate language. We follow the universal one-sentence-per-paragraph standard, and details must be given in their most exact form (e.g., exact date and venue of event). Please include relevant pictures (if any) and statement/s from persons included in the news (when appropriate).

Submissions must be sent to the Office of Alumni Affairs, 3F Administration Bldg. WU-P, or emailed to wesleyanupdates@gmail.com with the words NEWS UPDATES as the subject.


Features
Features are essays about certain topics of interest. They may either be about Wesleyan or beyond, as long as they remain relevant to the institution. Preference shall be given to articles which feature lesser-known but important facts about the school, its people, or even facilities. Photo essays are also encouraged. Feature write-ups must not exceed beyond 5, 000 words, and must contain a few pictures about the topic if possible.

Submissions must be sent to the Office of Alumni Affairs, 3F Administration Bldg. WU-P, or emailed to wesleyanupdates@gmail.com with the words FEATURES UPDATES as the subject.

Everyone is free to submit and is eligible to be published in our blog, but only those that are written in clear, professional and thought-provoking style shall be published in the monthly newsletter and quarterly magazine editions. Opinion write-ups must not exceed 1, 000 words. Those who regularly get published may be given their own column space both in the electronic and the paper version.

Like the poetry section, only the best shall be included in every magazine issue, but several may be published in the blog. Short stories must not exceed a maximum of 7, 000 words, while essays must not exceed a maximum of 5, 000. Essays may be formal (short academic or scientific articles, treatises or abstracts) or informal (criticisms and reviews, personal sketch, or personal reflections on certain topics).

Please do not forget to include the name of the contributor, plus a short profile. All submissions must be original (notify us if one has already been published in some other journal or paper).

All articles are subject to a screening process. Since the publication is financed by a non-stock, non-profit university, please understand that we do not grant honorarium for every article we publish.
