Viewpoints—Make Your Voice Heard
Please send us commentary in the style of op-ed articles or short essays on issues or controversies specific to any aspect of construction and engineering. We want what you submit to promote thought, discussion and action. We’re also looking for interesting first-hand experiences told in interesting ways about life and careers in construction. Most of what we publish is from 750 words to 1,250 words in length. The quality of the writing is important, and sometimes we’ll work with you to get your submission into publishable form on ENR.com and in ENR’s print editions. Send submissions to richard_korman@mcgraw-hill.com and be sure to include the word viewpoint in the subject field. |
