Just as the name implies, a News Brief is a timely, newsworthy item that is typically announced to readers. Whether you’ve opened a new office, have a special event coming up, or are offering new therapy, we want to hear about it. News Briefs must be written in the third person and relevant to our subject matter. This is not an advertisement and should not be written as such. We reserve the right to edit all submissions. Current advertisers receive priority.

Deadline: The deadline for submitting News Briefs is before publication on the 15th of the month. 

News Brief Submission Guidelines

• Length: 100-250 words.
• Style: Write in 3rd person. (Please, no “I, me, we, our, my, mine, you, or yours.”)
• Late submissions are at risk of not being considered.
• We are unable to feature all submissions because of space limitations.
• Current display advertisers will receive first consideration, as they help to support our free publication.
• We also feature briefs about nonprofits whenever possible.
• We reserve the right to edit all submitted news briefs.
• Uploaded documents, logos, and photos will attach when you click Submit.
