Please review our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Cookies Privacy Policy before submitting your Blog Post.
If you would like to submit an article please submit your full draft in a Word doc (preferred) or Google doc format and the information below to mailto:blog@newburghhistoryblog.com: Please include images you would like to accompany the article and all references and attributions. The article should pertain to history in the Newburgh and Hudson Valley area.

Your bio: A short Bio of approximately 60 words should be included with your first submittal. Include any links you wish to display: your blog, LinkedIn profile, Facebook page, website URL, etc. This is a great place to include any promotional or other links as we prefer not to have them in the actual post.

Your headshot: We use a site called Gravatar to manage headshots\Avatars. New contributors should create an account there and upload a headshot. Once this is done, we’ll need the email address that was used to register the account, so we can associate your headshot with the author profile we will use in your posts.

Supporting images, interactive content, or videos: Identify which image is preferred for the Cover\Feature Image if you want to include one.

But here are tips on the other kinds of media you may want to include and the expectations regarding Post submittals:

• Images (PNG, JPG): Provide any high res images you would like to include within your Word doc. When saving your images, please provide a descriptive name and location in the Post. If needed, we will automatically resize the image so large images can be submitted and will be scaled down.
