Submission Guidelines
The public is encouraged to submit articles and photos via email about events of interest to Granby residents.
- Articles should be written in the third person and saved as .doc or .rtf files.
- Photos should be submitted as high-resolution .jpg or .tif files.
A few photo guidelines:
- Turn off your camera's "date stamp" feature, if it has one so nothing is superimposed on the photo.
- Photographs of people doing things are always more interesting than photos of people trying to stand still and smile.
- If in doubt, take several photographs and submit them all, so we can choose the best one.
Please provide us contact information as well as a byline for articles and a caption identifying people in photos.
Send articles and photos as attachments to:
editor@granbydrummer.org. We acknowledge submissions by return email. If you do not hear from us, please follow up with another email or leave a message at 860-653-9222.
If you don't have e-mail
Submissions may also be sent to us PO Box 165, Granby, CT 06035, or may be dropped off at our office by noon on the deadline date (see
DEADLINES page). Our office is at 11 North Granby Road -- the white house in front of the police station (the former Board of Education building).
