Becoming a Writer
NIA’s monthly trade magazine, Insulation Outlook, contains technical articles on a variety of topics related to the mechanical and industrial insulation industry. The magazine seeks practical and useful information about the value of insulation, its uses and applications, and its economic benefits. Insulation Outlook is the most effective vehicle for getting the word out to key decision makers in the commercial and industrial markets, and we welcome the submission of objective articles on appropriate technologies as well as product releases.
We rely on our readers and other industry experts for articles covering the hot topics! Insulation Outlook accepts, but assumes no responsibility for, unsolicited manuscripts. Manuscripts submitted for consideration must contain the name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, and business affiliation (if any) of the author. All manuscripts are subject to editorial and technical review by the publisher and/or designated industry representative, and may be edited for content, length, and marketing bias. Contact the editor for more information.
