Articles not shorter than 1 page, not longer than 18 pages, you can always divide into 2.
Voices, lesson plans or reviews can follow a relaxed format/length as long as you stick to the general outlines.
Note:
- there is no strict word limit as this is a website magazine and space and number of words is not an issue
- do not use footnotes on individual pages, listed at the end of the text are fine
- if in doubt look up sample articles on the website or contact the Editor
2. Other useful information
- We can publish photos, images, graphs and visuals – please embed them in the text, but make sure you have the right to use them.
- Do not weave text around images.
- We can put in links to films and other online materials.
- Your article can be linked to a website of your choice or recommendation.
- We can include a banner of your school, publication/s, website link in the issue in which you publish an article. More frequent appearances of the banner have to be negotiated with the Editor. It is best if you provide the banner in the form you want it to appear on the website.
- You can promote your website or your publications through your articles.
- HLT publishes paid advertising so you can contribute a separate text with overt advertising.
- We cannot guarantee that if you submit an article it will be published in HLT, but we will do our best to advise you and make the publication possible.
- It is up to the Editor to decide in which issue your article will be included, depending on the general theme of the whole issue. Sometimes an article may be moved to an earlier or later issue.
- The Editor has the right to introduce editorial changes regarding language or layout (to comply with in-house style).
- The Editor can suggest content changes or improvements.
- Permission to reprint articles published in HLT can be negotiated with the Editor, and so far there has never been a ‘no’.
