Got a thought? A reaction? A story? A pulse? Want to be heard?

Alarm Clock Communications is dedicated to providing a contemporary platform for opinion, and here is our promise: ANY editorial submission that is consistent with our editorial mission and that meets our editorial guidelines (see below) will be published. Whether it's a response to a "wakeup:call," a letter to the editor, or just a random thought on the intersection of culture and technology, we will post any and all relevant submissions. The best of what we receive will be printed in alarm:clock magazine. Send your stuff to: ideas@thealarmclock.com.

Editorial guidelines:

  1. Include your name, address, and daytime phone number at the top of all submissions. (So that we may confirm that you are indeed who you say you are.)
  2. Keep all pieces under 1,000 words. (Anything longer will be cut down to size.)
  3. Submit only text documents, preferably cut and pasted into the body of an email. (And don't give us pieces with all sorts of funky colors and weird fonts.)
  4. If your document crashes our computer(s), we will be very upset. (And you will be banned from ever contributing again.)
  5. If you wish to submit poetry, please note that our preferred form is the Petrarchan sonnet. (Remember: the rhyme scheme of a standard Petrarchan poem is "abbaabba cdecde.")
  6. Please, for the love of Jim Rockford, be patient.

Also, be sure to check out our privacy policy before sending us anything.
