Please keep the following parameters in mind when drafting submissions for DTC Perspectives:

  • All submissions must be previously unpublished. Otherwise, permission for republishing must be provided.
  • Topics should be fresh, cutting edge and relevant to DTC marketing. We encourage new studies and case studies, and discourage philosophical fluff pieces.
  • Pay close attention to sentence structure and grammar – we want to keep the article in your voice and do not want to have to rewrite portions that are poorly written.

If your article is approved, please be prepared to submit the following for publishing:

  • A final, proofed version of the article
