But where do I send it?

Every branch has a journal. Here’s how to find yours.

If you're thinking about publishing an article, one of your first questions should be: Who’s my audience?

For most of us, it’s our own branch. Infantry battalions know to submit to Infantry. But if you’re writing about the medical platoon’s role in a combined arms fight—or a maintenance warrant’s impact—you might not know whether to send your piece to The Pulse of Army Medicine, Army Sustainment, or The Warrant Officer Journal.

To help, we’ve updated the Writer’s Compass on Line of Departure. It now includes:

• Tips to get started writing,

• A list of every Army journal with submission links,

• Each journal’s writer’s guide, with info on article length, formatting, and citations,

• And contact info for the editors.
