1. Featured Articles Writer's Submission Guidelines:

There are no word limits, we have authors who do articles from 300 to 3000 words. They first key is to keep the content industry relevant. Good, well written copy for our readers = Good PR for you and your firm. We believe in a 'win-win' approach! We also believe in a solution orientation to problems, if you see an issue or challenge you want to address, please propose a reasonable solution and your thinking for that solution.

Please put Attention Editor and Featured Article Submission n the subject line of your email. All articles must be received via email, electronically, for our mutual ease of handling. Please submit your articles to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

We do welcome and encourage the following:

• Head and shoulder photo of the author - readers like to 'see' who wrote the article.

• When appropriate, we welcome photos, graphics and charts that illustrate the article. One of the tremendous advantages of an Online Trade Journal (Ezine) like ours is that photos and graphics can be freely used.

• When using photos or graphs, please send them individually as attachments, as well as embedded into your article. If your software allows you to output your article in both Word format and as a PDF, please do both when submitting a graphic/photos in your articles, as Word displays differently from computer to computer. The PDF version will let us see more precisely what you had in mind.

• Please provide a suggested Title and your name will be on the by line under the title. At the end of the article, provide a brief bio. Your company's name, website and your contact info are welcome (including phone and email, as you wish). Do not use all caps in the article title or headline.

• Please submit your articles using a 10 point Tahoma font, and in Word document format.

• Please provide 'resource box' information. All authors who are also advertisers can have hot links to their jump pages or other online content in their resource box at the end of the article, along with their photo and content information.

• Please see a few of our Featured Articles to get actual examples of the points above.

• All articles must offer genuine information, case studies, etc. they can't be 'Advertising.'

We welcome and encourage a variety of viewpoints on a wide range of manufactured housing, modular, pre-fab, panelized or other factory-built home related topics. Avoid profanity or any remark that might appear disparaging of another firm, person, product etc. that is part of the factory built housing Industry. As the old saying goes, "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar." This policy will help you win more people to your viewpoint.

Naturally, we reserve the right to edit content.

Feature articles should be submitted 10 days or more prior to the next issue. Our issues 'go live' on the evening prior or near the first of the month. Our normal cut off time for an issue is 1 week prior to 'going live' on our site.

Please be sure that "Proposed Article for MHMSM.com" appears in the subject line.

• While our Industry Voices writers are allowed to share their company name and some basic contact info, the proposed post must be a news or opinion type item of industry relevance, not an advertisement.

3. "Cup of Coffee" Submission Guidelines

• A "Cup of Coffee with…" is a great opportunity for industry professionals to introduce themselves to a wider audience of colleagues and have their voices heard on a few issues of importance.

• A "Cup of Coffee with…" interview uses a format of a series of questions about you and the industry that you answer.

• These interviews are then published (subject to editorial approval) in a regular feature article issue of MHMSM.com.

• A few examples of these interviews are ones we've published by Thayer Long, Jamie Hammons and Doug Gorman.

If you want to be considered for a Cup of Coffee with… interview, please email editor This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and put 'My Cup of Coffee' in the subject line. Then share a bit about yourself, like your Linkedin connection, brief bio on your website, etc. and we can create your interview from there.

• Must be a "news" type item, not an advertisement. The news may, however, be product, service or announcement related.

• Our advertisers have the benefit of being showcased on the single largest business to business platform in the Factory-Built Housing Industry’s history. No other trade publication or 'similar' website comes close to our traffic, so our rates are the best value in the Industry.
