Submission Hints and Guidelines
Modern Trade Communications accepts bylined articles on an exclusive-only basis, and all content is edited according to AP Style.
New Products: Every month, we feature new products that have been recently introduced. Please submit press releases about the product and a photo.
Product Catalogs: Two categories every month that showcase products by category. Submit recent introductions, most popular products and updated products.
Feature Articles: Mostly written in-house, so we're looking for quality sources and great projects to support the article, whether its an industry overview, installation solutions or business tips.
Building Profile or Project Feature: An in-depth look at one project from multiple aspects. Design decisions, cost concerns, product choices, meeting owner desires. Staff written. Please submit projects and brief write-ups for consideration.
In the Details or Metal Fine Points: One-page articles designed to help our readers learn about specific product categories by educating them. We will feature 2-4 articles in each issue. Article submissions should be more educational than promotional.
Drawing Board: One-page articles designed to show our readers what architects have on the drawing board for a future project or a project in progress.
Market Feature or Project Focus: Every month, we feature great projects by category so our readers can see what's new and what the market wants. Submit photos and write-ups.
Top Honors or Snapshot: A one-page article that features a unique and interesting project. Submit photos and a description. Inquire first.
