Description of Publication:
10% freelance. The ACUTA Journal is written for those people responsible for campus communications, including voice, video and data services. Our audience includes primarily directors and managers of communications services, but may also be routed to the president's office, information technology staff, and telecom or networking technicians. We feature articles that help the communications manager stay abreast of new technologies, find solutions to technology-related problems on campus, and learn more about effective leadership and management. Welcomes new writers if they have a technology background. Circ. 2,300. Quarterly. Pays on publication. Publishes ms within 12 months of acceptance. Buys FNASR. No reprints. Responds 6 weeks. Sample free on request. Subscription free to members; $80 to non-members. Guidelines by mail with SASE, e-mail, and online at http://www.acuta.org/relation/downloadfile.cfm?docnum=118
Current Needs: Articles targeting focus for next four issues: (1) Convergence and Next-Generation Technologies, (2) Supporting Classroom Technologies and Remote Campuses, (3) Legislative and Regulatory Issues, (4) Strategic Planning and Leadership. I will look at manuscripts sent via fax/e-mail/mail, respond to queries, and appreciate cover letters. Email is very convenient for both query and reply.
welcomes new writers
Pay: Pays $0.10-$0.12/word for 1500-2800 words.
Hints: Our members have specific needs related strictly to campus telecommunications. We do not accept 'infomercials' that tout a product or service, but welcome case studies demonstrating how a communications problem on a campus was solved. Every campus is a potential case study. Our members are intelligent and technology-savvy, but they are not typically writers. If you have a campus nearby, approach the telecommunications or data services manager or director about talking with you to put together a story. Read back issues for examples.
Photos/Art: Photos are appreciated but special authorization is required for payment. (Talk to me before you spend any money you expect to recover!)
