Submission Guidelines
Back to Home
  TAG Magazine is a general-interest magazine, created 99% by teens and 100% for teens.
1. You must be a school-age student to submit your work. Others may submit work but only
    if it is relevant to teen interests.

2. All submissions must be accompanied by a submission form (even if your work is e-mailed
   or saved as an electronic file). You can get submission forms at the library, or print them
   from the magazine Web site at: www.oocities.org/willcoxmag/.

3. Submissions must be turned in to the Elsie S Hogan Community Library. You may submit
   your work in one of the following ways:
     a.
The Written Word:
             i.
E-mail. Save your submission as a Microsoft Word file and attach it in an e-mail.
               In the subject line of your e-mail message, please specify what section you think
               your submission should go under. Send your e-mail to teen.mag@gmail.com
            ii.
Electronic File. Save your submission as a Microsoft Word file and save it to one
               of the library's laptop computers. Please notify library staff that you have saved a
               submission to the computer, and which computer it was. You will need to turn in a
               submission form at that time.
     b.
Other Forms:
            i.
Electronic File or E-mail. If you can save your photography, artwork or drawing
              as a .jpeg file or in Microsoft Publisher, PowerPoint or Word, please do. E-mail the
              file to teen.mag@gmail.com by following the same guidelines for written
              submissions. Follow the same guidelines for electronic files, if you wish to save to a
              library laptop instead.
           ii.
Hard Copy. Bring in your artwork, photography or drawing in ink on plain white
              paper. Submissions on brightly colored, dark colored or lined paper will not be
              accepted. You will need to turn in a submission form with your artwork.
