How to Submit: Write to bsumag@entrepreneur.com or 2445 McCabe Way, Irvine, CA 92614 (with SASE), and request guidelines. Full-length manuscripts are discouraged. Read the magazine to get an idea of our style; sample copy available.

Tips for Writers: I love it when a writer can take an assignment and run with it, coming up with angles I had not thought of. The biggest problem is vagueness and generality in writing. When readers finish an article, they shouldn't say "Well, duh." They should have learned specific steps to take, places to go, ideas to use. Another problem is not being able to write from the mindset of a young person--not being able to write in an interesting way without talking down to our readers.
