GA Submission Guidelines

Are you a woman gamer, or female fan of geek culture? If so, and you’d like to write for GamingAngels.com, please review ALL of the standards for review and article submission listed below.  And if you’re not female, but think you have a great idea for GA, keep reading.

Contacting the Editor:
The Editor referred to below is our GamingAngels.com Editor-in-Chief, Cherith.  If you have questions or comments, those items should be submitted to her at the email address listed below under “Submitting Your Article/Review”.

Reviews: GamingAngels accepts reviews of any game on all consoles, including computers and mobile platforms. We are moving away from a traditionally templated review format which means, women are welcome to submit reviews that are more conversational in tone, as long as the review still covers most general review topics like controls, gameplay and graphics and the female aspect section listed below. Reviews should be between 750 to 2000 words and should be written with proper use of grammar, punctuation and capitalization. Though conversational styled reviews are welcome, very casual reviews with net/l33t speak are not.  If you’re going to write a review to submit at GamingAngels.com, please familiarize yourself with the current tone and writing style our Editors use, before submitting.  Reviews that have clearly not been written with our site and audience in mind will most likely be rejected.  Also, you may want to do a search on GamingAngels.com to look for the item you’re writing about before submitting your piece to the Editor, reviews for items that have already been reviewed by a GamingAngels.com Staff Member will be rejected.

Rating the game:
GA is trying to move away from a traditional numerical rating system.  Instead as you write your review, please try and recommend either a Buy/Rent/Pass rating for the game.

Articles:
We are always looking for articles on gaming and geek culture, especially if they include a topic relevant to women. Please let us know if you have an idea for an article. Articles should be between 500 to 2000 words, and should be original to the writer. Conversational styled articles are welcome as long as they are well written and utilize proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation. Articles are welcome that will fit in one of the many existing categories on GamingAngels.  If you have an idea for an article but aren’t sure what category it might fit in, feel free to email the Editor.  If you’d like to write an article, but want to know more about what we might be looking for, or need an idea on how to proceed with a specific topic, feel free to email the Editor with questions or requests for more information.

Mommy Bloggers:
GamingAngels is always striving to bring new female perspectives to the site. With this in mind, we are now accepting article submissions from women that might categorize themselves as a ‘mommy blogger’. We would love to see articles that discuss mothers who game, and how they game with their children. Questions about article ideas and submissions can be emailed to the Editor.  All other article requirements will be consistent with those listed above.

Male Writers:
Male writers are welcome to submit articles or reviews that speak to a different aspect than a female based review might.  The game industry is male dominated, which is why GamingAngels strives to bring a female voice to all it’s topics.  However, any well written article from a male perspective dealing with gaming or pop and geek culture will be considered. All other article requirements will be consistent with those listed above. GA is not now, and will probably never be in the market for male staff members.

Submitting Your Article/Review:
Once your article or review is written and ready for submission, please make sure it’s formatted in .txt or .rtf format. Word file formats will not be accepted. All articles and reviews should be submitted with the subject line: Article: [name of article] or Review: [title of Game] to gareviews@gamingangels.com. Please do not email items directly to any of the GamingAngels.com Staff. Within the body of your email, please include your GamingAngels.com username so that proper credit can be given when posting the item to you at GamingAngels.  In order for an item to be accepted, you must have a GA username.  Items Submitted and posted to other sites may be accepted after consideration by the GamingAngels Editor-in-Chief.  Once you’ve sent your email, please allow at least a week for the Editor to review, she’ll get back to you and let you know whether your article has been accepted or not.  Failure to follow any of these guidelines may result in your article or review being rejected from GamingAngels.com.
