Queries ColoradoBiz welcomes written, e-mail and phone queries with solid, original ideas and angles. In fact, it's required before we'll assign you a story. We want analysis, forecasts, profiles, and pieces on trends, businesses, people and activities. As a full-color monthly, our editorial deadlines are about 10 to 12 weeks out from the first of the issue's month. We seek features ranging between 650 and 1,200 words, and we always look for corresponding sidebar and chart material.
Pay is a flat fee based on the story's complexity, length and time frame.
ColoradoBiz also pays such expenses as phone and 25 cents a mile in certain cases. Read back issues to gauge what we do want. Photos We usually shoot our own, although it can't hurt to ask sources to send us what they've got. If you shoot well, or know someone who does, we continuously seek contributions to our Last Look page in the back. This page tries to capture, in one shot, the unusual, offbeat, reminiscent, humorous or ironic in Colorado's business sectors.
