Suggestions for Writers

The staff of the Sunnyside Times is always seeking ideas for new kinds of articles or interesting or useful content that may be of interest to a significant group of residents. Anyone who might have such an idea, or – even better – is interested in writing, is strongly encouraged to contact Linda Bradley at 568-8663 or bradlelm@jmu.edu.

The Sunnyside Times encourages residents to submit articles and stories for posting that: • Are a maximum of 1000-1200 words in length • Share helpful resources or provide essential information • Focus on SS residents, their lives, personal experiences, reflections • Have a human interest emphasis • Are inspirational or uplifting

Articles and stories should not: • Express a political or religious bias • Be a social commentary • Be negative about Sunnyside resident, staff, or operations

The Sunnyside Times editorial staff is typically responsible for deciding to post a specific article, but if there is any question, the Tech Forum (subcommittee of the Resident Council) may make the final recommendation.
