How to Contribute

From Mindat

Content will be aimed primariy at amateur mineralogists and collectors - and we WANT YOUR ARTICLES! If you would like to write an article for the Mindat Magazine drop me an email or leave a message here.

The magazine will be subject to peer-review in the same way that traditional magazine articles are reviewed prior to publication. We want to specifically encourage new authors - and we want to help anyone who is keen to write to team up with more experienced authors to help them learn how to write in the style that is needed for the magazine.

Articles wanted: Anything to do with location mineralogy (eg "The Zeolites of the Isle of Skye, Scotland"), news on new minerals, book reviews, etc.

What we don't want: Articles at a basic/beginner level (eg "What is a mineral?") - although a different article called "What is a mineral?" if it's informing about new IMA guidelines as to the classification of minerals and non-minerals would be appropriate!

(But if you want to do more basic articles, we are also planning a Mindat Education Center that would be very grateful for those!)

We don't want field trip reports, or show reports (except where specifically requested).

- WE NEED YOUR ARTICLES!
