Articles for the Sarum Link

We are always looking for new, exciting, heartwarming, life-changing, quirky, unusual, community-affecting Christian stories for our diocesan newspaper.

Firstly, we need to know the three Ws - What, Where and When - as basics, plus any extra detail to add colour to your story.

It would be a great help if your story included the following:

• 150-250 words
• A paragraph to introduce the piece, and each paragraph developing the story in distinct chunks.
• Sentences of no more than 30 words
• Paragraphs of no more than 4 sentences
• Quotes from relevant people, especially those mentioned in the piece
• A well-taken photograph
• Contact details, including telephone and email as appropriate

The paper’s primary function is “mission”, so articles should focus on this element. Most items should also have a local connection - in the case of the Diocese of Salisbury, within the Wiltshire/Dorset areas.

Feature contributions would need no more than 400-500 words, although we would rather have too much information than too little. We can always edit it down where necessary.
