We'll offer suggestions about which specific topic you should focus on and whether you should write a Feature-length article or a Test Applications article. Prepare an Outline . We encourage you to send us an outline or proposal first, even if you have talked with an editor. The outline lets us see what direction you're headed in, and we can offer additional comments, suggestions, and criticisms that will help you tailor your article for our readers. In addition to providing an outline, you should state your objectives clearly.
Most articles have only one or two objectives.
If you have more than two. Try to formulate your objectives clearly in the format suggested above, then proceed to the outline. It's our experience that you cannot develop a clear, well-organised outline unless you have clear, simple objectives in mind. We'll review your outline and fax or call you with our comments and ideas. This is the most important point.
