[Ely Announce] Contributions to Ely Ensign

[Owen Spencer-Thomas]

Articles and news stories for the Ely Ensign


In recent months, I have received an increasing number of submissions of
news, articles, features and other ideas for publication in the Ely Ensign.

First, many thanks for your growing interest.  I hope to be able to publish
a good many of these, but limited space may mean I have to disappoint some
contributors.  Perhaps it would help to clarify what we are looking for.

1.	The best news stories are between 200 –350 words.  Features can be a
little longer – usually no more than 750 –800 words.

2.	If you have a computer and are on-line, let me have your submission by
email.

3.	Ely Ensign is a diocesan magazine.  Your article or news story should be
linked to the affairs and concerns of the diocese.  For instance, we can’t
justify including general appeals from national charities.

4.	We are keen to include items from parishes but they should be of general
interest to the diocese.  We’ve come across many innovative and creative
initiatives in parishes and are always pleased to hear of more.

5.	Pictures add interest to the story.  One picture is worth a thousand
words.  Reasonably high-resolution digital pictures emailed to me are the
easiest to manage.

6.	And finally, if you think you have a good idea, it may help to have a
word with me before you put too much work into it.  I may be able to suggest
how you might make your contribution of wider interest.
