Authors are allowed a 50 word biography where they can plug their products or services, and a high-resolution (300 dpi) photo image. Photos should be taken with a professional-setting background. Photographs for article are also accepted on a volunteer basis with credit to the photographer. Photographs must be a minimum of 300 dpi. We reserve the right to deny photographs at our discretion.
