EMN PUBLISHING GUIDELINES
It is recommended that posts are in the 400-600 word range. Posts that announce events or vendors may be less and still be published.
Topics / Categories
Topics should be limited to subjects that inform and guide a professional Estate Manager.
General Topics are:
Estate Management (the profession of managing a privately-owned estate property)
The estate (property, grounds, furnishings, housekeeping, technology, security, staff, services…)
Behind the Scenes (what it’s like to be in the private service industry and the EM life)
Events (networking events, classes, workshops, live podcasts…)
Resources (tools, vendors, classes…)
Images
Images are recommended to add perspective and personality. EMN may or may not use the images submitted. We may find an imaged more appropriate for the aesthetic of the website and reserves the right to publish the article with a photo of the Publisher’s choice.
Print-Ready
Articles must be print ready, meaning edited and checked for grammar and spelling. EMN will not edit user-submitted posts and will not publish posts with grammar or spelling errors.
No Solicitation
Articles may not include sales pitches or direct advertising. They may refer to a company or a product.

Authors may suggest links to relevant, useful further reading. Affiliate links, ad links or trackbacks to Author content on other pages will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Social media links may be placed in the Author profile.
