 Write for Us
Back to College® is a news and information
resource for adult re-entry students pursuing professional
development or an advanced degree.
Content
We feature articles that address issues of importance
to the older student: obtaining financial aid, on campus and online
education, finding the right program, graduate school, or attaining
academic excellence (study skills and success strategies).
Career management and articles on successful transition
are appreciated. We are especially looking for stories
on the re-entry student experience. Articles may be
anecdotal, or include examples and resources where readers
can obtain more information (Web resources are
desirable for an online publication.)
See Feature Articles to
familiarize yourself with our publication before submission, and to see what topics have been addressed.
Depending on our publishing schedule, it may take 30 - 90 days to notify of article acceptance. (Please note that we can only notify you if your work is selected.) Simultaneous submissions are okay; just contact us if article is accepted by another publication. No phone calls please.
We also have topical articles on assignment available and are looking for writers for our Ask the Experts forum.

to College®, you grant WD Communications
LLC exclusive first-serial rights to the articles

Queries
For best consideration, send the article itself.
We believe the subject of the article isn’t as important as how it's presented. Queries alone must include two writing samples or viewable reference to prior published works, and specific details on the proposed article.
We ask this to see your writing ability and to have clear information regarding the article idea for publication.
Writers may submit to the editor.
Before submission, check article for factual correctness,
style and content. Articles need to be original,
concise and professional and include a short biography
and photo of the author.
