The more you can document your project, the better. If that\u2019s what you\u2019d like to share, you can publish it on\u00a0Make: Projects<\/em>. If you\u2019ve made something cool (or have come up with a cool hack or tweak for something) and want to show other people how to make one, we\u2019d like to publish it. Note: We\u2019re interested in hearing about things you\u2019ve already made, not things you are just thinking about making.\u201d8<\/sup><\/p>\n Make:<\/em>\u00a0also accepts other submissions. Submissions should fit into one of the following categories:<\/p>\n Submission and review process:<\/strong> To submit an article or book, fill out the form at Submit and Idea for an Article or Book<\/a>. For other submissions, send an email to editor@make.co.<\/p>\n Editorial tone:<\/strong>\u00a0The style used is informal and instructional.\u00a0Make:<\/em>\u00a0emphasizes that the writer \u201cis the reader\u2019s coach,\u201d10<\/sup>\u00a0indicating that writing should be conversational, as if you\u2019re telling a friend something they don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n Style guide used:<\/strong> There is no official style guide specified. \u201cDO use clear and consistent language. Write with precision. Use correct terms for materials, components, and processes. What\u2019s the pointy part of that one thingy? Please look it up. Carefully define directions and areas (top, bottom, right end, left edge, etc.), and use these terms consistently.\u201d11<\/sup><\/p>\n While the subject matter of the magazine does not directly relate to any library or information science subjects, libraries are at the forefront of the maker scene. Librarians who build\/run programs utilizing makerspaces, 3-D printers, technology, electronics, and a do-it-yourself spirit might have something to contribute to this magazine, be it a tutorial or a story on a maker program within the library.<\/p>\n Publication circulation:<\/strong>\u00a0The print magazine has a paid circulation of 80,000<\/p>\n Audience location and language or cultural considerations:<\/strong> The subscription is only offered in U.S. dollars, which would most likely mean that its readers are all located in the United States.12<\/sup>\u00a0Of course, the magazine also has a web element, which could potentially be viewed by anyone with an internet connection. The magazine is written in English, and in a very informal manner. \u00a0Although there is a possibility that your article will appear on the website and be viewed by someone outside of the United States, it seems safe to use American colloquialisms and slang. Also, since most of the readers will be very tech savvy, it would likely be appropriate to use technical language.<\/p>\n Reader characteristics:\u00a0<\/strong>The website\u2019s readers are 66% male and 100% college educated, with an average household income of $119,000. The magazine\u2019s readers are 81% male, with an average age of 44, and mostly college educated. The audience is composed of teachers, parents, inventors, and \u201ctechy, savvy creatives.\u201d13<\/sup>\u00a0[**Note: As of November 21, 2020, this information is no longer attached to an active link, so the details cannot be confirmed]<\/p>\n Knowledge of LIS subject matter:<\/strong>\u00a0The average reader would most likely have little to no knowledge of LIS topics and issues, and probably no knowledge of library jargon.<\/p>\n Since these readers would almost certainly be outside of the library world, it would be important to approach LIS subject matter in an approachable way. The use of makerspaces and other DIY, STEM-oriented programs and projects within the library would make great fodder for a contribution to this magazine. It would be important to keep your tone on a more lighthearted tone and avoid jargon as much as possible, or explain the jargon if its use is necessary.<\/p>\n Last updated:\u00a0<\/strong>November 21, 2020<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0Make: ISSN: Print: 1556-23361 Website:\u00a0Make: Homepage Purpose, objective, or mission: A hybrid magazine\/book (\u201cmook\u201d) specializing in DIY projects, particularly fun, at-home technology in categories like Home & Garden, Art & Design, Computers & Mobile, Craft, and Desktop Manufacturing.
