Our editorial guidelines
We selectively accept outside contributions for articles from industry professionals and even academics! Here is what we look for:
- Articles with a typical length of 800-1,000 words. Content that goes longer than 1,200 words could be presented as a two-part series.
- Articles that are 100% original, previously unpublished work. Though after a three-week exclusive period for Change Management Review™ (three-week from publish date on CMR website) you are welcome to republish the article in whole elsewhere.
- Articles are written by a person who is knowledgeable about their subject and not written by generative AI or a PR department.
- Articles that introduce new ideas and advance conversations around topics and trends that engage our community of organizational change professionals. They have substance and are not written simply for content marketing.
- Articles that come from diverse individuals located anywhere across the globe working in any sector, who can add diverse value to practitioners and stimulate healthy professional discourse. Consider that the majority of ‘business’ advice is written for a minority of organizational sizes – so we’d love to hear what is happening and can be applicable across the spectrum of organisations tangling with change.
- Articles are written from an objective and/or subjective viewpoint.
- Objective if you have evidence-based content to include. We welcome verifiable data, research findings, appropriate examples and even diagrams to illustrate key points.
- Subjective if you are offering a personal perspective or drawing from personal experiences regarding your topic. Do not be overly self-promoting with subjective content.
- Be clear in your opening message about what the reader can expect.
- Articles provide readers with advice or actionable insights to enhance their professional practice, or to extend their personal or team capability to do organizational change.
- Articles do not include links or references to other content that requires the reader to subscribe or sign-up to access (and thus become part of another organization’s mailing list).
- Articles can mention businesses or organizations in which you have a vested interest and you must disclose that information to readers.
- Articles can be submitted with suggested artwork for the featured Image (1280px x 720px), but final choice is at the discretion of our editorial team. Any artwork provided must be royalty free, and attributable to the creator/owner.
- Articles are well written and follow standard guidelines for readability and accessibility. This includes avoiding unnecessary jargon, avoiding sentences longer than 20 words, avoiding paragraphs longer than 300 words, and including appropriate section headings to give structure to the article.
- Articles have a title that does not exceed 120 characters including spaces.
- We reserve the right to edit content for clarity and brevity, to ensure it conforms to these editorial guidelines. Links may be added for context.
- The article content in whole or part remains the copyright of the author, however, CMR reserves the right to reprint accepted articles with full attribution, in future CMR products.

- Conversations of a typical length of 35-60 min. Content that goes longer than 60 minutes could be presented as a two-part series.

- Conversations that come from diverse individuals located anywhere across the globe working in any sector, who can add diverse value to practitioners and stimulate healthy professional discourse. Consider that the majority of ‘business’ advice is published for a minority of organizational sizes – so we’d love to hear what is happening and can be applicable across the spectrum of organisations tangling with change.

What to expect
Submissions are reviewed approximately once every two weeks and the process is selective.
If we like what we read, a member of our editorial team will inform you about the timeline and next steps. Steps will include getting a short bio from you and a quality photo headshot (500 x 500 px).
We aim to publish complete written pieces within 2-3 weeks of accepting them. Articles are published online in the Articles section of our website.
Podcast episodes are generally recorded every month. If accepted, your pitch may be in a queue for when the actual episode is recorded and published. Podcast episodes are published online in the Podcast section of our website, and also distributed through common podcast channels.
Note: We do not pay for contributed pieces or guest appearances, but we will promote pieces and episodes through our Change Management Weekly™ newsletter and our social media channels, like any other content that is published on our site.
