We’re looking for people with knowledge and opinions.
Be a thought leader in your world and ours.
We are the only Life and Health insurance publication with California content for brokers. There is no other state broker publication and the national books don’t cover California.
We are always interested in bylined articles on subjects of specific interest to our readers, especially regarding health, life, disability insurance, annuities and financial planning. If you would like to propose or submit an exclusive article or opinion piece, e-mail the editor at publisher@calbrokermag.com.
Writer’s Guidelines
Word Count: We generally run stories as 2-page spreads (1,000 plus bio, photo, etc.)
Content: Submit in WORD document (not PDF) with photo attached.
All articles should avoid self promotion, and address the following:
- Why does a broker need to know this info and how do they use it to help themselves personally?
- How does it help their own business, or their clients and/or client’s employees?
- Cite some national or local information or study/research which supports the statements so it’s not just one person’s opinion.
- Please stay ‘vendor neutral,’ and avoid pitching your own company or service. HOWEVER, do use specific examples of tools or resources that work and can be accessed by brokers.
We do have offerings for ADVERTORIALS and Partnership/Sponsorship opportunities.
Contact publisher@calbrokermag.com
Print Topics: Any topic that is of interest to brokers of life & health insurance, and financial products such as annuities. See the editorial calendar below as a guideline for what we would like to cover each month. Again, please avoid self promotion.
