Recent updates to C&T guest writing process!

Thanks to our super engaged community of phage enthusiasts (all of you!) we are outgrowing our old ways of getting each Capsid & Tail feature ready the week or two before it comes out. So we're updating how we handle guest blog submissions!

We will now be accepting blog submissions on a quarterly basis; so keep an eye on these four deadlines throughout the year if you're thinking of contributing:

• For consideration for publication between Oct-Dec, send us your finished draft by Sept 1.
• For Jan-Mar, send us your draft by Dec 1.
• For Apr-June, send us your draft by Mar 1.
• For July-Sept, send us your draft by June 1.

Submissions will be published in an approximately first-come, first-served basis, depending on any editing / back-and-forth that may be required.

Interested in contributing a blog post about your phage work (or your phage initiative) to C&T? Check out our Guest Writer Guide!

If you have feedback about our process, or what we publish (or should publish more of!), please email capsid@phage.directory — we'd love to hear from you!

Thanks to Stephanie Lynch for her help in rethinking our system, and for her help coordinating C&T submissions from here on out!
