Looking for Great Writers and Timely Topics
 
GPA Grant News welcomes contributions from GPA members. We ask volunteer authors to commit to writing one article per year and to follow the GPA Code of Ethics. If you are interested in volunteering as an author, please contact Aimee West at
aimee@grantprofessionals.org.
 
How to Write for GPA Grant News
 
We ask authors to write articles that reflect on their experiences and practices, rather than grant writing basics. We look for content that is both personal and engaging. While we have a schedule for lead articles, we also welcome submissions on a rolling basis throughout the year.
 
Article submissions should include the following:

  • Headline at the top of your article with your name, hyperlinked to your email address
  • Your headshot which we will include with your article
  • Article theme
  • GPC Competency your article reflects (http://www.grantcredential.org/the-exam/competencies-tested/)
  • No more than 600 words
  • Add an engaging question to get readers to respond to the blog post at the end of your article
  • Add a 2-3 sentence bio at the end of the article
  • Social media handles, so we can tag you on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram
  • Email your article to Aimee West at aimee@grantprofessionals.org by your article deadline

All Grant Professionals Association Blog articles are edited by a member of the GPA publications committee. In order to uphold ethical and professional standards, our editors may deny articles or request modifications as needed before publication.

 

  • Site Sources - Please cite your sources when using a APA format and do not plagiarize.
  • Data Manipulation - Data manipulation may result in a distorted perception of a subject which may lead to a false Grant News blog post. Our goal is to promote and expand the knowledge of the grant professionals who read our blog. This is not where you sell yourself, product, or company. 

 

What to Expect When Working with GPA Editors: Your Editor Will…”

  • Recognize how much time and effort you have put into your article;
  • Carefully edit your article to preserve as much of your “voice” as possible;
  • Appreciate, respect, and meet the publication guidelines established by GPA to preserve quality standards;
  • Reconcile all these points when a final article copy is provided to you; and
  • Refrain from making more than 1 editorial pass of your article if you do not agree to uphold the GPA publication guidelines.  

Self-promotion of services or products is not allowed.
