      The Kansas Trooper is sponsored by the Kansas Trooper’s Association (KSTA) and is published quarterly.   All materials published in the magazine are the property of KSTA. No articles in this publication may be reprinted without the express consent of the author. To obtain consent, contact the editor of the Kansas Trooper.
      To submit materials for publication in this magazine, e-mail submissions to mary@napiercommunications. See specific guidelines below.
      KSTA reserves the right to refuse a submission for publication, and all materials submitted become the property of KSTA. To have your materials returned to you after publication, be sure to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. By submitting materials, all authors are consenting to the use of their name, article and image (when applicable) with the Kansas Trooper and the KSTA website.
      Also, in order to ensure the quality of our publication, editing for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and content may occur.  Every effort will be made to ensure that the context of the submission remains the same. 

Articles:

Type all materials and submit your article in an electronic format via e-mail or disk. Please save it as a Microsoft Word document. Please do not embed photos in a word document, but send them separately.

Photos:

Photos taken with a digital camera are generally satisfactory, provided the quality is acceptable.  The image should be saved as a tiff or jpeg format and delivered via e-mail or disk whenever possible. Photo captions need to be included with the photos.

Photos for the cover MUST be a minimum of 300 dpi and at least 8”x10.” They must be clear, in focus, and of suitable content. A vertical photo is more conducive to the layout.

Contributor Reimbursements are paid at the rate of $.05 per word for the published article and $10 per published photo.

All materials should be sent to:
