DO tag your fellow vendors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are lots of excellent reasons to tag ALL the other stellar event professionals in your submission. Those vendors will promote you in return and you\u2019ll grow your professional network. When the submission gets published, they\u2019ll be automatically alerted and will share on their social networks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>But the #1 reason to tag the fellow pros that you worked with is that publishers are looking for that information! 70% of editors say that it is critical to include vendors in your submissions, and 89% say it is very important. &nbsp;Nearly half of the editors we surveyed want to see 8 or more vendors tagged in an album. So grab those business cards, and get tagging!<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">2. DON\u2019T over-edit your event photos<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One consistent piece of advice publishers on <a href=\"https:\/\/twobrightlights.com\/home.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Two Bright Lights<\/a> share with new submitters is to keep the editing of photos to a minimum. Most publishers are looking for images with natural light and true colors. So keep your photo processing uniform, and be conservative with your filters. Check out previous work that has been published to that blog, magazine or website to see the style of photographs they prefer, and you\u2019ll be ahead of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2860\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2860\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2860 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2015-12-31_0003.jpg\" alt=\"Dos and Don'ts of Getting Published | via RTS (Photo by Krista A.

DO include plenty of details<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Editors want to publish the best looking photos, for sure. But they need a great story to tell too! And they don\u2019t want to have to do all the heavy lifting. Include as much of the backstory and as many of the details as you know. If you aren\u2019t the event or wedding planner &#8211; call them! They usually know lots of great little nuggets since they spend so much time with the party planner or the bride and groom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worried that you aren\u2019t a great writer? Don\u2019t be! The publisher will finesse the story, they just need the raw ingredients. One editor even told us they\u2019d be thrilled with a bulleted list of details if the submitter is not a strong writer. And often it\u2019s the details &#8211; along with great pics &#8211; that cinch the submission.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2861\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2861\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2861 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2015-12-31_0001.jpg\" alt=\"Dos and Don'ts of Getting Published | via RTS (Photo by Krista A.

Find the right publication for your album and avoid mass-submissions. Publishers can see where else an album has been submitted and they want to know that you think this album is perfect for them, so choose five to ten publications at most. Be sure to read the submission guidelines for each publication that you are targeting. Don\u2019t waste your time &#8211; or theirs &#8211; by submitting to publications that are clearly not a fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">7. DON\u2019T forget a personal note<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">66% of publishers surveyed were more likely to open, review, or accept a submission that included a personalized note. It only takes a few moments, but it can be the thing that gets your submission noticed. Include a few teasers about the event, then make it specific to the publication. Why is this the perfect album for that blog, website or magazine?
