Submitting an Article
A key source of district energy industry information, the
magazine is driven by the quality of its articles – most of
which are contributed by volunteer authors. Abstracts
proposing article ideas are welcome.
Submittals. Although the District Energy editorial
calendar is set well in advance, article abstracts may be
submitted at any time. If accepted, they may be slated for the
next year’s editorial calendar, or even tapped for use during
the year submitted on a substitution basis.
Authors wishing to contribute articles should prepare a
150-200 word abstract for review by the District Energy
editorial committee. Abstracts should contain an explanation
of the unique angle the article will take on its particular
subject and should be forwarded to Monica Westerlund,
Executive Editor, District Energy, 16303 Blenheim Way,
Minnetonka, MN 55345; tel. (952) 935-4904; fax (952) 935-4945;
e-mail mlw@westerlund.com.
When an abstract is selected, the author will be asked to
prepare and submit an article of a specific length according
to detailed instructions that will be provided. At the time of
submittal, accompanying visuals should be provided as well,
preferably professional photography or graphs, tables and
schematics. Cover stories require a vertical color slide,
transparency or photograph. Articles are edited to meet the
magazine’s stylistic standards; authors receive a final edited
draft for approval prior to publication.
Content. The magazine regularly features articles with
a unique angle on district energy and/or CHP operations,
technology, marketing, industry developments, regulatory
issues, legislative action, etc. Articles that are commercial
in nature or are solely technical descriptions of district
energy systems cannot be accepted. Authors are asked to keep
the use of trade names to a minimum, i.e., only as necessary
to describe the application of a process. Articles typically
range from 1,000 to 1,500 words.
Target Audience. District Energy readers represent
utilities, municipalities, universities, hospitals, industrial
parks, military bases and other physical plant systems. They
also include manufacturers of equipment for central energy
plants systems; architects and engineers involved in the
design and development of district energy systems; district
energy customers such as building owners and managers; and
federal, state and community leaders.
