If you are interested in putting forward individuals or companies for comment, and/or writing something for one of our upcoming articles, it is advisable to contact us around two to three months ahead of the publication date.
If you are interested in writing for us, SM feature articles are usually 600, 1,100, 1,500 or 2,200 words. They need to be of interest and/or practical use to our readers, and must be clear and concise without sales content. SM reserves the right to edit submitted work and to determine how it is best presented.
We do not send edited/designed copy back to contributors for their approval prior to printing. Send short summary proposals to Rebecca Ellinor (rebecca.ellinor@supplymanagment.com).
