Before submitting, please ensure your work follows these guidelines:

• Submissions should be original and unpublished, unless otherwise agreed with Duru Magazine.
• Articles should be well-written, researched, and factually accurate.
• Do not submit plagiarized or AI-generated content presented as entirely your own original reporting or writing.
• Include appropriate sources or references when making factual claims.
• Do not submit copyrighted material that you do not have permission to use.
• Images must be original, properly licensed, or accompanied by the necessary permission for publication.
• Avoid defamatory, discriminatory, hateful, or deliberately misleading content.
• Duru Magazine reserves the right to edit submissions for accuracy, clarity, grammar, length, tone, and editorial style.

Article Length

There is no strict word-count requirement.

However, as a general guide:

• Short features: 500–800 words
• Standard features: 800–1,200 words
• In-depth features: 1,200+ words

Quality, originality, and relevance are more important than word count.
