AAJ Journal is the eJournal of AIA Academy of Architecture for Justice. Published four times a year, AAJ Journal's articles combine thoughtful commentary and analysis on current issues and future trends in architecture. We are always looking for new ideas and fresh perspectives. Please keep the following tips in mind as you prepare your article.

Style
• You are writing a feature article for the Internet, not a printed report. Your readers are looking for a good read, something that will be short yet informative and useful as they think about the many issues involved in their daily work.
• Strive for an informative, approachable style in your writing. Stay away from the passive voice.
• Please keep in mind that not every reader will be familiar with some well-used acronyms and terms used among practicing architects.

Format
• Your article should be about 500 to 700 words. Your readers will not have time to wade through a long, complex article.
• Your article should show an orderly development and coherent flow. As a rule, your conclusion should answer the reader’s question, “Why did the author want me to read this?”
• For greater Web readability, please do not double space after full sentences.
• Use targeted yet creative headlines, and use subheads to break up long sections of text.
• Photos and illustrations are welcomed but should not be embedded in your text. Each illustration or photo should be submitted as a separate file and submitted in .jpg or .pdf format. Please include captions in a separate Microsoft Word file.
• Your article should include a short (50 words or fewer) biographical sketch for each author.

Submissions
We prefer to receive articles electronically, preferably as a Microsoft Word or otherwise PC-compatible file attached to an e-mail.
