Article Submission Guidelines — Cincinnati Family Magazine

Overview
Cincinnati Family Magazine, along with its Northern Kentucky edition, serves a regional readership of parents and caregivers. The publication's editorial mandate is clear: content must be geared toward families with children from infancy through early adolescence. This is not a venue for experimental or academic prose; the magazine prioritizes clarity, utility, and a conversational register that respects the limited time of its audience. Submissions are evaluated by Editor-in-Chief Susan Day and Managing Editor Amanda Hayward. The magazine follows the Associated Press Stylebook, and features are expected to be non-taxing and easy to read. Writers should note that technical writing is explicitly discouraged. While the guidelines excerpt does not specify payment, rights, or submission windows, the editorial posture suggests a professional, service-oriented publication rather than a literary journal. For creative practitioners accustomed to more rarefied contexts, this opportunity represents a shift toward direct service journalism. The curatorial vision is functional: to inform, reassure, and engage parents in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. Writers who can translate complex topics into accessible, AP-compliant prose will find a receptive editorial team.
