Deadlines are the 15th of each month. State Magazine is always looking for interesting articles about the Department's foreign affairs mission and the employees who support that mission. The magazine encourages news and features about the Department's operations at home and overseas. We, of course, reserve discretion when to publish and to edit for publication. Articles can range from brief feature stories about people within the Department to short announcements about specific events of general interest to substantive articles about how Department employees participate in foreign affairs issues and challenges.
Conversational style works best.
In addition, articles should be free of acronyms and jargon unlikely to be understood by most readers. Submit articles on double-spaced typed pages. When possible, also submit material on Apple Macintosh or IBM PC-compatible disks. State Magazine is equipped to work with most software programs, including Microsoft Word, WordPerfect and Wang. Include the author's name, job title and telephone number or e-mail address with every submission.
