All materials submitted must be

Nigerian languages as long as they are sent together
with appropriate translations.
The name of the author as
he/she would like to be credited must appear on the
materials.
Please send a photograph of
yourself in Jpeg format to go on your page. (Some
people feel uncomfortable sending their photographs
and have sent pictures of their cats or other pets
instead. The editor does not like that and often
would not read those submissions. If you don't wish
to send a picture, please don't. It is optional.)
Copyright: Once we accept
materials for Sentinel Nigeria, we acquire the
copyright until they have been published. 90 days
after publication, the copyright reverts to the
authors.
Simultaneous Submissions: We
discourage simultaneous submissions. The turnaround
time is 8 weeks.
Previously Published Work:
Generally we discourage submissions of previously
published work. If we feel strongly about a
previously published work we may solicit it. If your
work has been published elsewhere and you feel it
has not been given the exposure it deserves, and you
feel strongly about it, by all means submit it, but
please mention where and when it was first
published.
Important: Please submit only
materials that are your original work. Bear in mind
that Sentinel Nigeria is a magazine and not a blog
or discussion forum. Therefore the form and content
of any work published in the magazine is final and
any aspect of the work, or its authorship, may not
be modified after 7 days of publication. Requests
for modification of content, authorship or deletion
will not be entertained. Copyright reverts to all
authors 90 days after publication.
