If a published article in QST or QEX is your goal, read the ARRL Author's Guide first. If you'd like to propose a QST article, get in touch with the QST editorial staff to determine in advance the interest in your proposed subject matter. Contact the Managing Editor by telephone (860-594-0200), fax (860-594-0259), electronic mail (qst@arrl.org) or regular mail.
If you'd like to propose a QEX article, contact the QEX editor via email (qex@arrl.org) or phone, fax or regular mail as above.
QST and QEX accept unsolicited manuscripts. Address materials to the Editor, QST or QEX, as above. Authors of articles are paid for their material; current page rates are given in the Authors' Guide.
Strays and items published in Up Front in QST are used only as space is available. Material submitted for Strays and Up Front in QST must be sent by US mail addressed to the QST Features Editor. You can also submit Strays and Up Front in QST material via email. No material for Strays will be accepted by telephone.
Photos submitted for publication must be of interest to amateurs and must be of excellent quality with well-illuminated subjects in sharp focus and with good composition. (Our Tips for Taking Better Photos can help.) We prefer transparencies, slides or glossy color prints (although the photos may be published in black and white). Do not write directly on front or back of photographs; label them with adhesive labels or notes taped to the back. Provide detailed identification of all people in photographs, including where and when the photo was taken, and any additional relevant information, and provide the name of the person who took each photograph. Include a daytime telephone number where you can be reached if the editors need more information.
Material submitted becomes the property of the ARRL and we cannot accept responsibility for submissions, although we will attempt to honor requests to return materials if accompanied by a written request and an SASE, but because of the number of manuscripts, documents and photographs submitted, we cannot guarantee their return. There is never a charge for publication of items as Strays.
The ARRL welcomes comments and suggestions from Members in letters submitted for publication. All letters received are read by the editorial staff. In addition to letters of general interest that may be published in the Correspondence column, submissions will be considered for Hints and Kinks and for Technical Correspondence, as appropriate.
Submissions to QST or QEX columnists, or questions or comments about the content of a published column, should be addressed directly to the column editor at the address given at the head of the column (or by email to qst@arrl.org). If you want us to return material submitted non-electronically, include an SASE.
Permission to quote or reprint material from QST or any ARRL publication may be granted for noncommercial amateur use, such as radio club newsletters and club promotional material. For such permission, send a written or fax request that includes the date of the issue or the book title, the page number, a description of the material you want to use and its intended use. Address such requests to the Publications Manager, ARRL. Requests for reprints cannot be given by telephone. Blanket permission to reprint cannot be given; individual requests must be made for specific material.
Announcements of New Products (including computer software and periodicals) and New Books of interest to radio amateurs, are welcome. Address press releases and other materials to New Products Editor or New Books Editor, respectively. Such submissions cannot be returned. Items are published without charge, strictly as space is available. No information for New Products listings or New Books reviews is accepted by telephone.
