Thanks for reaching out and having the desire to submit an article to be
featured in big-city newspapers
There are a few ways to be included in big-city newspapers:
Option 1: An article about you (or written by you) where you are one of several people being featured in an article, this is a compilation article. Fewer than 400 words.
– A single newspaper: $500
– Your article in three newspapers: $900
Option 2: A feature article that you write about what's going on in the world or your industry, or where you’re just being interviewed and answering questions.
– A single newspaper: $900
– Your article in three newspapers: $1,900
The article is not a commercial for you. This is for the news, and as such, must be news-worthy. We can help you with that.
There's a bunch of information we need from you. As you go through this page, you will be asked to submit important information which will help us find placement for your article.
Things we need from you . . .
Photos
All pictures must be hi-res
At least three to as many as seven photos of you (include photo credit if applicable).
Considerations for your pictures:
- Consider what look is “on brand” for you. You want to look like yourself as you typically show up. You want to look like the professional you are.
- Bright, solid colors work best. Skip busy patterns, they distract from you.
- Ensure the images have enough room for us to crop them.
Here are some examples of what we are looking for . . .
Photos
Head and shoulders
- Color
- Minimum of 300 dpi
- Preferably 4 x 5 inches
- Head and shoulders visible
- Distration free background
- Eyes looking directly at camera
- No limbs extending outside the frame
- Plenty of space all around you, plenty of room above your head

Upper-Body



Full body


Action shots . . . These pictures should be "on brand" for you. Such as: on stage, being interviewed, interviewing someone, working with a client, at your workplace, etc. Please include captions for context.








Other lifestyle images . . .
Depending upon what is on brand for you, and the types of projects we are doing for you, we may also want additional images of you. These may include you receiving an award; presenting an award; being engaged in a hobby; at an event, perhaps a philanthropic or charity event; on holiday or vacation; at a retreat; at a community event, etc.
Examples of what we may create with your images:







If you're planning a photo shoot, consider these tips . . .
- Bright, solid colors work best. Skip the busy patterns.
- Consider what look is "on brand" for you. You want to look like yourself as you typically show up. You want to look professional.
- It is best not to have anything busy behind you. Solid walls or blurred out behind you is best for us to work with. Out in nature can work nicely too.
- Be sure the photographer does not provide images that are cropped too closely. We prefer the larger version; we can crop it to size.
Your article . . .
Have a strong opening. Let the reader know why they should read this; why it is relevant. Tie it to a topic in the news. Make it timely. Begin with a question, etc.
Your article is to be single-spaced.
Submit a Word or Google doc. Let us know, in the subject line, if the subject matter is time sensitive. An upcoming event, for example.
Include one website or link where readers can find you. Your lead-in to the site is not salesy. This is a news article. I.e., Learn more at: website.
The photo you submit should be relevant to the article.
Your logo . . .
Submit a crisp, hi-res image, preferably PNG. If you send a JPEG, ensure it is a transparent background.
Your bio . . .
Your bio is written in the third person and includes what you are best known for; what is your expertise. Include some professional accomplishments, accolades, awards you've received, etc. About 100 words is optimum.
If you need some assistance building your bio, see our Bio Builder Kit
After you submit this, we'll get back to you and keep you apprised of progress.
Should your article be accepted, you'll receive an invoice.
