This method is appropriate for casual contributors. If you rarely write for the web, but have been asked to contribute, this is probably you.

  1. Compose a new email message to [email protected]
    • This address only accepts messages from @amnesty.ca accounts
    • We cannot reply to email sent to this account
  2. Address your email using the file naming conventions. The naming keys let us put your content in all the right places
  3. Copy and paste the applicable template into the body of an email. Write your content - the metadata and the body copy - in the email using Markdown
  4. Rename any other files (pictures, graphics) for the story using the naming conventions and attach them to the email
  5. Hit send!

Semi-casual - offline (via Dropbox)

This method is appropriate for semi-casual contributors. It requires a text editor and a Dropbox account.
