The link to submit Local Lines articles was sent to business managers and press secretaries near the end of November. If you or your business manager didn’t receive the link or can’t find it, please contact us at locallines@ibew.org or 202-728-6219.

Remember that nothing will change in your submissions content-wise—just the way that you send them. The submissions form is for both active local and retiree Local Lines.

As before, submissions of one article per issue must not exceed 200 words, and you are responsible for the accuracy of all submitted material, including quotes. Photos must be a minimum of 500 kb to be considered for use in print. If you provide a photo within your submission, you will be prompted to include a caption within the form.

More information and directions on submitting your articles can be found on the submissions form page. We know that it will take some getting used to the new form, and you can reach us at locallines@ibew.org or by phone at 202-728-6219 with any questions.
