How to submit:

All contributions should be sent by email through our contacts page. Items sent by surface mail may have to be retyped and will take longer to get published. Articles may be submitted in any file format (MS Word, WordPerfect, ASCII, etc).

If you need to submit via surface (snail) mail or fax, then please use the address on the contacts page.

Photos and graphics may also be submitted and should relate to the article or news item submitted. They may be sent via by attaching them to your E-Mail or 3 1/2" floppy disk.

If your photo or graphic is not scanned, I will be happy to scan them for you! (Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that photos will be returned, so please send us a copy)

Please include a brief description of the photo and who, what, when and where as it relates to the photo.

You must state is your submission that you grant permission for your article or photo to be published.

The author's of all submitted articles or photos will be given proper credit, however the submitted article and photos become the property of the United States Ju-Jitsu Federation and we reserve the right edit any submitted article for grammar and spelling.

The USJJF also reserves the right to reject any article or photo that is deemed inappropriate in content.

Guidelines:

Scanned photos may be submitted in any valid image format. Images in .jpg or .gif format are preferred, and should be attached separately from articles that are submitted. Do not embed them into your article file as the quality is generally rather poor. Insert typed place-holders within your article to show where you prefer the photos be inserted.

Articles should relate to the Ju-Jitsu. Commentary and editorial content will not be accepted.

Before submitting your article, read it over and over and make your best attempt to correct spelling and grammatical errors. Have a friend or colleague read it and make additional corrections. You should correct as much as possible before submission, otherwise we will have to do it, and often editing can alter the message that you are trying to get across to our readers.

If you have additional questions about how to submit your article or other content for the magazine, please send those questions to the Webmaster.

We look forward to hearing from you and to your help in getting this magazine off the ground!
