Editorial Guidelines for Submissions
Queries The editors at DallasChild and FortWorthChild strive to include fresh voices, ideas and perspectives in the magazines. We emphasize stories with a local focus and prefer to work with writers from the Metroplex area. All story queries should be submitted by e-mail at editorial@dallaschild.com, mail or fax to the Editor. It is our goal to respond to all queries; however, due to the volume that we receive, this may not be possible. Please, no phone calls. Ideas are given the consideration they deserve when they are received. The magazines assume no responsibility for unsolicited manuscripts. The editors have unrestricted editing rights. Calendar Listings Where to go, what to do and who to see in and around Dallas and Fort Worth is the most well-read section of our magazines. If you have an event you'd like us to consider for the calendar, please e-mail to calendar@dallaschild.com or fax to 972/447-0633 by the 10th of the month prior to the month of publication. Events must be open to the public, of interest to families in the Dallas and Fort Worth area and cost no more than $20 per person. Please include name and description of event, address, phone number, Web site, time, date, cost, and age served. We reserve the right to edit and withhold submissions. Parent Resources In an effort to provide the most comprehensive resource guide for our community, we list family resources online, including parenting organizations, support groups and education. To be included in our free Parent Resources section, please submit: name of organization, who to contact, meeting times and agenda, location and other pertinent information, along with the mission statement of the group. These submissions will be edited for space. To submit by e-mail, contact us at editorial@dallaschild.com or fax to 972/447-0633. Reader Input We want to hear from you. Your comments and suggestions, good or bad, are important to us. Though we may not be able to respond to every letter, we consider all reader feedback as we shape the magazine. To submit feedback, contact us at editorial@dallaschild.com or by mail or fax. No phone calls please.
