Format and style

Please submit your article as a Word document (.docx). Our editorial team may trim length or make light edits to align with Actuaries Digital's house style — we'll always aim to preserve your voice and will flag any significant changes.

To help your article move through the review process smoothly, please prioritise clarity and readability before submitting. Well-structured, plain-language writing makes for faster edits and earlier publication.

Length

We recommend 800–1,000 words. If your topic requires more depth, links, references and footnotes are a great way to extend your content without burdening the main article.

Use of artificial intelligence in submissions

We recognise that authors may use AI tools to assist with research, drafting or editing their submissions. If you have used AI tools in preparing your article, please:

• Disclose this in your submission email
• Confirm that you have reviewed and verified all AI-assisted content for accuracy
• Ensure all opinions, analysis and conclusions are your own

Charts and graphs

Charts, tables and graphs Please supply these as separate files where possible — Excel or CSV files are ideal, or high-resolution JPG/PNG images (minimum 150 dpi). Visuals embedded in Word documents may not export cleanly and could delay publication.

Author credit

We'd love to share a little about you with our readers. Please provide a short author bio of no more than 100 words — a sentence or two about your background, current role, and areas of interest works well. If your article is accepted for publication, this will appear in the 'About the author' section at the end of your piece.

We'll also need a portrait photo (200 x 200 pixels minimum). A professional headshot works best — and a smile is always welcome.
