What are your guidelines for writing on FedSmith.com?
We prefer articles that are 1200 words or less. More importantly, recognize that the audience for this site is primarily active or retired employees of the federal government. Our audience is generally well-educated and sophisticated in its understanding of federal employee issues.
Articles for the site should reflect a knowledge of this audience and an expertise in the topic that is the subject of the article. Articles on retirement topics, recent decisions on topics that impact the pay or benefits of the federal workforce and an explanation of how a benefits program works are all popular topics.
An article with a point of view is fine as long as it reflects an in-depth knowledge and expertise. We do not publish articles that are primarily an emotional appeal to readers to accept a particular point of view or would be characterized as a polemic against a person or agency. We also do not publish articles that are exhorting readers to write to a third party in support of a particular case.
