About The Magazine
Conscientious Aquarist is an on-line magazine dedicated to the
sharing of information about the aquatic hobby. Content is intended
to promote the husbandry of aquatic animals in a responsible and
ethical manner. Material presented includes information on
freshwater, marine, reef, reptile, amphibian, and pond care, animal
selection and general husbandry.
Our intent is to provide content which will inspire the beginning
hobbyist, encourage the intermediate hobbyist, and provoke the
advanced hobbyist to investigate new areas of the art and science of
aquatic husbandry. Of foremost importance is that this magazine
serves as a forum by hobbyists, for hobbyists, and that the content
be presented in a straightforward, friendly, and non-intimidating
manner. Particular emphasis will be placed on a “how I do it” point
of view, without excessively scientific material, which might be
intimidating to a novice hobbyist.
Article Submission Guidelines
Articles should be submitted via email as an attachment as either an
RTF or Microsoft Word formatted document. The email should include
the author’s name, address, email address, website URL (if
applicable), and a brief “autobiography” of the author. We encourage
contributors to present a “casual” autobiography covering their
hobby experience and interests,
not simply a “resume” of hobby and academic achievements. We welcome
submissions from hobbyists and authors at all levels of experience.
Be sure to include any photos, illustrations, and artwork that is
appropriate for the article. An appropriate bibliography and list of
references are encouraged. Since we have access to WetWebMedia’s
vast
library of photos, please advise if you require a specific photo or
photos to crew@wetwebmedia.com.
Payment
Once accepted for publication, we will make payment directly to the
author at the rate currently in use ($150.00-$200.00 per article as
of 2008). The author should specify if payment should be made via
check or PayPal.
Conscientious Aquarist shall retain the right to use the material
