Author Guidelines
From Kurt Ament to Strunk and White, blog-savvy people have this advice:- Write short sentences.
- Make short paragraphs, 3 to 5 sentences at the most.
- Do not use semicolons (;). They are an excuse to lengthen sentences.
- Aim for no more than 500 to 700 words of content. If you desire to write a longer piece, please subdivide it with subheads, so that it can be serialized.
- Use our Style Guide when writing your articles. (Send e-mail to newsletter@stc-dfw.org.)
