Submission Guidelines 2007

Submit:  Send your submissions to editor@homeschoolinghorizons.com

Length: Minimum: 500 words, Maximum 800 words

Articles must be entertaining or interesting and readable, and not a glossy "perfect family" article.  Keep it real.

Graphics/photos are appreciated and wanted!  These make your family feel "real" for our readers.  Let them get to know you.  And what better way to make your kids feel famous!  Photos may be submitted in .gif, .tiff or .jpeg formats, and sent to editor@homeschoolinghorizons.com or uploaded via our FTP server.  Please do not reduce the image size when sending.  Doing so results in a blurry or pixilated image.  Please contact us for details.
