The following is the most current, abbreviated version of OMTimes article submission guidelines and expectations for items provided through the Writers Community portal, as of May Second, 2022.
We do not accept unsolicited article submissions through email
All submissions to OM Times Magazine must be made through the Om Plus Community & Authors’ Incubator at incubator.Omtimes.com
All posts within the Om Plus Community – In all categories – are deemed to be submissions for possible publication in OM Times Magazine, in all its various formats.
Before making a submission, it is highly recommended that you read through this submission document carefully, and visit our ‘TRAINING’ area, which will provide you with valuable additional information.
Please also familiarize yourself with our ‘Copyright and Reprint Policy’, ‘Terms of Use’, and ‘Code of Conduct/Guidelines’.
• Content: Original, in other words, it hasn’t been posted in other magazines or in blogs. We do not publish channeled materials; our writers present their own ideas! Please begin with an 80-word ABSTRACT that summarizes the themes covered (a teaser of sorts).
• Tone of Voice: Professional tone of voice, using “we” or “our” rather than “I” to make the articles inclusive, and to avoid sounding like a blog post. Please avoid 2nd person as well as much as possible, to keep from sounding preachy (as in, “you might be doing this wrong…).
• Self-Promotion: Include an Author Bio with links to your profile and any promotional material (up to 70 words). Self-promotion is only permitted here – if links are embedded or included in the body of the article, they will be deleted.
• Title: Reflective of the general theme (up to 60 characters) *should include key word/phrase*
• Length: 500 – 800 words (not including the abstract or author bio)
• Article Optimization: Be aware the OMTimes does layout and formatting to best optimize your work for presentation on the Internet and our eZine publications. Articles should have the *key subject word or phrase* identifiable throughout. When composing articles, sub-headings and text must have consistent word use or they are subject to change at our discretion.
•Audio/Multimedia Files: OMTimes experts who provide additional materials in addition to the standard text, must bring it to the attention of the editors.
• Editors: Liane Buck (Editor-in-Chief), (Senior Executive Editor), Lisa Shaw (Spirituality/Health) – writers may hear from editors regarding article acceptability.
• All profiles on the Om Plus Community must have comments set to “unmoderated,” so editors know if communication is occurring on an article.
Note: By submitting content for syndication, you confirm that you hold all rights to the article.
