iPhone Life's 2011 "Best of Everything" Guide
(On newsstands October 2011)
The iPhone Life team invites you to contribute to our second annual "Best of Everything" Buyer's Guide, featuring the best apps, gear and accesories as written about by iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users. To propose an article, click here.
Article Length and Deadline for submission:
Most articles run 1-2 pages (roughly 700- 1400 words with images), and they must be submitted to Alex Cequea (alex
iphonelife [dot] com), iPhone Life's Editor in Chief, by August 18th (the earlier you submit your article, the higher the possibility that we will include it).
We will edit submissions from late July to early September. We don't pay for submissions, but your bio will accompany every article. The "Best of Everything" Guide is one of iPhone Life's most popular issues, and it reaches well over 100,000 readers in the U.S. and around the globe through print, and gets millions of views through iphonelife.com.
For general details about the editorial logistics, please read our Writer's Guidelines.
If you just want to tell us about your favorite app or accesory products, please fill out this form.
What we're looking for:
The "Best of Everything" Guide will have similar sections to regular iPhone Life issues: Best of iTunes, Best of the Web, Best Apps, Best Gear and Accesories, Best Enterprise solutions, and more. We're looking for "Best of" type of articles that are informative, entretaining, and very useful.
Some example articles: "Top 5 iPad Board Games," "The Best Gifts for Dads," "Top 10 Multiplayer Games," "Best Apps for Teachers," "Apps With the most Bang for your Buck." To get an even better idea of what we're looking for, you can view last year's issue here.
