To help us publish a clear, readable, and useful newsletter each month, please keep the following in mind:
- Submissions may be very short or up to about 500 words.
- You can type, paste from Word, or import a Word document into the form.
- Content should be relevant to life in Sandia Heights or of clear interest to neighbors.
- Write for a general neighborhood audience. Keep content respectful, constructive, and appropriate for all ages.
- Avoid inflammatory language, personal attacks, or speculation presented as fact.
- Please avoid excessive business promotion. For advertising, contact office@sandiahomeowners.org.
- If you reference links, include the full URL.
Photos
If you would like photos included, place a clear placeholder in your text where the photo should appear, then email the photo files to griteditor@sandiahomeowners.org.
Editing & Placement
Editors may shorten or edit submissions for clarity and fit. Not all content will appear in the same issue it is submitted; some items may be saved for a future month.
