Submission Guidelines
The Polish Genealogical Society of Greater Cleveland is looking for articles to include in upcoming newsletters. Write your Polish story, suggest tips to help others with their research, create a tribute to a Polish ancestor, or share old photographs of your Polish relatives. The possibilities are endless. Put your thoughts and stories on paper and have them published in our newsletter.
We have the following submission guidelines:
- Content should focus on topics such as Polish Cleveland, Polish history and culture, or genealogical research (specific to Poland or general).
- Preferred article length: 2-4 pages of original content with 700-800 words per page. Shorter articles may be considered.
- Articles should be written in paragraph form.
- Include relevant pictures in .jpg format, only if the author owns the rights to the images.
- Provide an appropriate and informative title for the article.
- We accept content related to German, Austrian, or Russian connections to Poland but avoid topics unrelated to Poland.
- Avoid political or biased content.
The editor reserves the right to accept and modify article content as needed. Articles may be refused at the editor’s discretion. The author retains the copyright to their work but grants PGSGC permission to publish it in perpetuity. Submissions should be emailed to our newsletter editor, at newsletter@pgsgc.org.
