ADVERTORIAL:
Text to be submitted no less than 5 business days prior to desired live date. Each advertorial needs to have a title (2-6 words), a synopsis (10-15 words, concise and non-repetitive, notably different than title) and a body (up to 2000 words). Please supply this as a word .doc. Up to 2 images may accompany any advertorial. Please ensure these are web-sized (maximum 400px width and 45kb file size), along with notating in the word document exactly where each image should be placed. Avoid excessive use of capitalisation, use of all-capital words, or excessive use of bold, italic or underlining.

Each advertorial is subject to publisher and editorial approval by TravelMole staff and editors. All advertorials should read like a news article, interview or story piece and not like an overt advertisement or sales brochure.

Note that all advertorials will be formatted for web use and will have a maximum width of 420px. The Advertorial will be formatted per TravelMole editoral guidelines. This includes possible alterations to the layout and rectifying any stylistic discrepancies (incorrectly formatted titles, excessive or redundant synopsis lines or excessive use of bold, italic or capitalised characters).
