Ask the Professor guidelines

With Ask the Professor pieces, we're trying to pose and answer topical/controversial/helpful questions and showcase the amazing expertise of members of the Wolf Pack. Answers should be pretty high level (i.e., we're hoping for answers that school children / the average community member can wrap their heads around). Questions may be provided to you.

  • Length: 300 to 500 words
  • Tone: Third-person POV, knowledgeable yet approachable, respectful, accessible, and readable/entertaining
  • Byline: Please include your name, a quick (around 50 words) bio, and a link to your faculty page
  • Images: Beyond your faculty photo, you may want to include an image with your answer. This isn't necessary, but please feel free to attach anything you think might augment your piece.
  • Publishing timeline: Unless your answer is especially timely, it will be added to the queue and published within a few weeks of submission.

Tips for a successful submission

  • Establish your main message early.
  • Be descriptive. Don't just tell readers. Use language that shows and explains.
  • Deal in concrete examples. Provide description.
  • Avoid self-promotion. Self-promotion is best served cold, in your bio.
  • Give credit. Check quotations. Double­ check facts. Cite sources in a "journalistic" style rather than an "academic" style.
  • Use the Associated Press Stylebook as your guide. (We'll be editing these on our end, so don't worry too much about this.)
