The Gazette Submission Guidelines

Before submitting your story to the Gazette, please contact Lynn Martel, Gazette Editor at to find out the following:

1. Is your idea timely? Or did the Gazette run a story about the same location/person/climb in the past six issues (two years)?
2. How long – how many words your story should be. This is very important, since the Gazette has only 24 pages total, and must accommodate a number of members’ stories, as well as photographs, notices and advertisements.
3. The writing deadline – the latest date the Gazette needs to receive your completed story in order to be considered for the upcoming issue.
4. Photo guidelines – when out in the mountains, if you hope to see any of your images published in the Gazette, they must be taken in the largest size and resolution your camera will allow. Any photos saved as less than 1 MB will not be considered at all. Photos of 3 MB are much better.
5. Cover photo – the Gazette is always looking for great vertically-oriented images that depict some of the action from one of that issue’s feature stories. Please remember to take some vertical images on your adventures, and again, in the largest size/resolution possible.
