Submissions should be relevant to the content and audience of our journal.

If you don’t hear from us right away, that doesn’t mean that you aren’t being considered — we’ve been known to schedule posts as far out in advance as 2-3 weeks.

Besides relevancy to subject matter of small business we prefer an easy going and conversational style of writing. We do realize every person has their own unique style of writing.

ESBJ reserves the right to edit any submission for content, grammatical or spelling errors, or space constraints.
