eJuggle welcomes submissions from juggling practitioners, artists, academics, musicians, and any person engaging with juggling in a tangible or theoretical fashion. If this is your first time contributing to eJuggle, here are some guidelines for submission.
General Submission Requirements
- Articles must be a minimum of 500 words to be considered for publication.
- All images must include a caption with the image’s source, photographer credit, and a description of the image if it is not already described in the text.
- Articles must follow applicable legal statutes (i.e. laws of copyright, defamation, etc.).
- In the event that an article includes controversial topics, eJuggle contributors must make a reasonable effort to reach any individuals or organizations named in the article. If a source does not respond to your request for comment within a reasonable window of time, please say so in the article. (e.g. “At the time of this article’s publication, Integral Arts LLC did not respond to multiple email requests for comment.”)
- Articles must be accompanied by an author bio of up to 50 words. Social media links are encouraged.
Note: Submitting an article to eJuggle does not guarantee publication. The editorial team will make all publishing decisions. If you’re unsure as to whether your writing meets these requirements, either email us at ejuggle@juggle.org or submit your writing as is and we will help ensure it is ready for publication!
eJuggle Writing Tips
- Before you start, write down the subject of your article in one sentence. This helps you clearly state your intentions, which will guide your research and composition.
- Narrow your focus to allow an in-depth exploration of the subject. Sometimes you might need more than one article to cover a particularly complex or far-reaching subject.
- Make a list of sources that are relevant to your subject matter. This list can include people, books, academic papers, podcasts, videos, etc.
- Use at least two sources to tell the story and back up the claims in your article. Even if your article is profiling one person, it is valuable to consider other sources that might enhance their story.
- In your article, make clear and concise statements that avoid confusion.
- Avoid making assumptions about your reader’s knowledge. eJuggle is publicly available and non-experts might read your work. Consider giving a brief explanation of niche terminology and subject matter.
- Use your own voice and writing style as much as possible to engage the reader and highlight your personality.
Overall, we hope that the process of writing eJuggle articles can be as fun, educational and impactful for you as it is for our readers to consume your content!
