Started as a small blog (www.kishanganj.blogspot.com) in July / August 2007 with few hits daily, we have now grown bigger and known as www.kishanganjbihar.com, fondly called as KBC. With a small team, KishanganjBihar.com brings articles on various topics focusing on Kishanganj, Seemanchal, Bihar and national issues as well. We are now getting around 2000 visitors per day from different parts of the globe, who appreciate the stuff of KishanganjBihar.com. However, it is not possible for the small team of KishanganjBihar.com to bring articles on wide variety of topics. Hence, we have decided to open the platform of KishanganjBihar.com for budding writers and journalists including veterans as well preferably from Bihar.


Being the Editor, I am inviting you all to contribute  for KishanganjBihar.com with personal articles, news reports, photographs, cartoons and or videos. We reserve the final right to publish it with ourselves on KishanganjBihar.com. If any contribution is not published on KishanganjBihar.com, that doesn’t mean there was any problem with your contribution, rather it proves that we have found the contribution not meeting the guidelines of KBC.

We encourage you to join as a member of KishanganjBihar.com. You can have your own author page containing all the articles written by you, your Gravatar image, a brief description/quote of yours, and your blog/website address.

Kindly follow the following instructions to submit your contributions:
Mail us your news articles, news reports, photographs, cartoons and or videos at editor@kishanganjbihar.com with the subject line containing ‘Submission’ and the title of the news story.

We can change the title and perform some minor spelling or grammatical changes in your article. If a picture has to be published along with the news item, let the picture be attached with the e-mail and clear directions should be given where the picture should appear, or we’d paste it wherever it suits us. Even if you send just plain text, we might add a picture from our own imagination, if we are not feeling particularly lazy on that day.
Same goes for any embedded video (provide us with the link to be embedded, preferably a full html code if not a youtube link). Use the same e-mail address, which you had used to become a member of KishanganjBihar.co, to send us your contributions.

Guidelines for contributors of KishanganjBihar.com

1.You should be the actual owner of the content or rather the content has to be created by you. If your content has already been published in some other website or magazine ensure you hold the copyright We reserves the right to accept or deny publishing.

2. The content length should not be less than 200 words and it should not be more than 5000 words. Content should be grammatically correct, proper sentence formation and correct spelling.

3. KishanganjBihar.com does not allow any writing which is stuffed with keywords. Though KishanganjBihar.com encourages contributors to optimize their content for search engines, but the content must meet the quality standards. Excessive key word stuffing leads to very poor sentence structure and creates an unpleasant experience for the reader.

4. If the articles submitted by you are virtually the same as articles submitted by you or some other contributor or available on other website with few words being changed then KishanganjBihar.com reserves the rights to deny publishing such articles.

5. While writing a title for your article, ensure that it is descriptive and flashes the crux of the message the article has to convey. Also keep in mind that if a reader is using a search engine, what kind of words he/she would type to reach your article.

6. Though we encourage you to promote yourself and your business or services, excessive self or brand promotion or providing external links in the article are not allowed. Also KishanganjBihar.com does not allow unrelated promotional content about the author or about a business or service.

7. You cannot sent your contribution related to pornographic, defamatory, inflammatory, obscene, abusive, contain hate speech, encourage illegal or discriminatory content or infringe the rights of any third party. This is not an exhaustive list and any determination of violation of content guidelines solely vests with KishanganjBihar.com.

8. You must mention the sources that were used in your content creation. For example if you are quoting a line from an interview of Dr. Manmohan Singh by The Times of India, the source has to be clearly mentioned or if you are referring to any key statistics from a government site mention the site as the source. But this doesn’t mean that you copy content as is from any such site mention the source and publish. This amounts to plagiarism and KishanganjBihar.com reserves the right to remove such content from the site.

We will publish your article with your name, and brief about your profession and interests, and E-mail ID and Phone No (If you wish)
