IL Guest Editorial Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in Inbound Logistics. We welcome editorial submissions on supply chain topics—one submission per company per year.

1. Please keep the article non-promotional. Your company name will be in your byline, not in the main body of the article.
2. Please watch the word count: approximately 650 words.
3. Please provide an author photo (color, high-res).
4. Please submit author contact info (name, title, company, phone number, and email address).
5. Know the audience angle: You are talking to supply chain professionals buying transportation, logistics, and technology solutions (i.e. manufacturers, distributors, and retailers).
