Submitting Articles, Projects or Press Releases
City Gardening invites people to submit articles and photographs
on topics regarding gardening in city environments.
Feature Article Submission Guidelines
City Gardening accepts unsolicited manuscripts relating to
a wide range of topics such as famous or unique gardens located
in American cities, city gardeners or city garden groups,
practical information on growing specific plants conducive
to the city environment, types of gardens conducive to city
living, i.e., container gardens, rooftop gardens, windowsill
gardens, community gardens, small yard and shady gardens.
An average article may range from 3,000 to 5,000 words in
length. Sidebar articles are encouraged as well as color photographs,
copyright and trademark free graphics, illustrations, logos
and photographs. Those writers whose articles are accepted
will be contacted for biographical information, resume, list
of sources and a photograph of themselves.
All mailed submissions should be set up in the standard manuscript
format such as title, first and last name, address, phone
number, rights preferred and approximate word count on title
page and every subsequent page fully numbered. Reference material
MUST be included with your submission to be considered. (This
is information is kept on file by City Gardening.) Writers
may submit their work either by postal mail or email. Email
articles as an attached .txt file or copied and then pasted
into the actual email message to us. Email all inquiries to
editor@citygardeningmagazine.com.
Project Guidelines
In each issue of City Gardening we feature an inside and
outside gardening project. The purpose of the projects department
of the magazine is to provide step-by-step projects to help
enhance the skills and enjoyment of gardeners in the city.
We invite readers to submit projects with this purpose in
mind. When submitting outside projects, the projects should
be tailored to the unique needs of city inhabitants. Inside
projects should be relatively simple to achieve and should
not take up much space to complete. Please submit a brief
description of the project, your complete contact information,
materials needed, and a photograph of the finalized project.
The editor or publisher may then get in contact with you to
discuss the prorject.
Please call Truby Chiaviello at 888-324-9943 for discussion
of your project. Credit will be given to you and/or other
readers at publication of the project.
