MSDN Online Article Submission Process

Anybody intrested in submitting the article to MSDN Online.
Here is the initial submission process.

Article Submission Process (mmsubmit@microsoft.com.)
MSDN Online is always looking for original, well-written articles that help developers evaluate and learn to use current Microsoft technologies for their software development projects. We welcome submissions from all readers.

If you have an article idea, please contact MSDN Online submissions at submsdn@microsoft.com. We will contact you for further details as necessary.

Your initial submission should include:

1. A brief (five-line) summary of the article(s) you're proposing. Please do not submit an article at this point. Articles submitted without first following the steps outlined on this page will be reviewed.
   The projected article length (our articles generally run between 1,500 and 10,000 words, not including sample code).
   
2. Your target completion date.
   
3. The audience your piece would address (architects, systems developers, and so on).
   
4. The language that your code samples, if any, would employ. We prefer samples in two languages when possible (for example, Visual Basic and C#).
   
5. The technologies that your article discusses.
   
6. A statement indicating that you have not given rights to this article to another publisher, that it has not been published previously in print or on the Web, and that the article is not adapted from another source (like a book). Authors who do not work for Microsoft will be required to sign an additional contract prior to publication.
   

We give careful consideration to all submissions based on originality, appropriateness for MSDN Online's scope, your writing style in the submission, and our current scheduling. Several content strategists will review your proposed article topic and it may take several weeks before we can give you a decision on your proposal. Due to various limitations, we can't always use every good article idea that authors propose. If we aren't able to use your article, we recommend that you pursue submitting to MSDN Magazine or a .NET Code Wise Community site.

This is just a guide for sending us your initial submission. We have developed more detailed guidelines for writing and submitting an article. Please download and review the MSDN Writer's Toolkit (286KB MSI Installer) for more details.
