A Writer's Guide
KIWANIS magazine is published six times per year—October, December, February, April, June, and August—to more than 160,000 Kiwanis club members, primarily in the United States and Canada. Readers are business and professional men and women and retirees who are actively involved in community service.
KIWANIS magazine content includes two types of articles: general interest articles and articles about Kiwanis activities and members. The magazine’s editorial needs primarily are for articles about the emerging, hot-topic issues impacting young children and communities.
KIWANIS magazine does not publish fiction, poetry, filler items, jokes, opinions or first-person accounts. Do not submit unsolicited manuscripts. Assignments may vary between 50 to 1,700 words in length.
Articles should be written to our international audience. Though most subscribers are in North America, KIWANIS has readers in Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and Asia.
Articles should be objective and remain true to the assignment’s stated purpose and focus. Substantiate key points with illustrative examples and quotes from persons involved in the subject or qualified to speak about it. Writing style should be smooth, personable and to the point, with anecdotes, descriptions and true human detail included where appropriate.
