Editorial Guidelines for Perspective411
Homeland411 accepts analytical op-eds from national security practitioners, defense fellows, and academic researchers (750 to 1,500 words).
What We Look For
Perspective411 publishes argued, evidence-based analysis on homeland security, national defense, intelligence, cybersecurity, border security, terrorism, and critical infrastructure.

- Links to sources for facts, figures, and quotations.
- A short author bio of two to three sentences, including your current role and affiliation.
- Disclosure of any financial or professional interest related to the topic.

Editing and Publication
Editors may edit accepted pieces for length, clarity, accuracy, and style, and will share significant changes with the author before publication. Opinions expressed in Perspective411 are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of Homeland411.
