Guidelines for authors
Contributions for publication in the Royal Horticultural Society Lily Group
yearbook, Lilies and Related Plants, are invited on any aspect of lilies and related
plants – growing, cultivation and breeding, species and cultivars, history, people
who have made a significant contribution to the subject and nurseries or gardens.
Any questions concerning articles can be addressed to the Editor, Caroline Boisset,
at: carolineboisset@btinternet.com or at St Olaves, 19 Woolley Street, Bradfordon-Avon,
Wiltshire BA15 1AD, UK; telephone +44 (0)1225 864808.
It is a condition of acceptance that contributions are the original work of the
author(s) and that the Editor should be notified if they have been previously
published or are under consideration for publication elsewhere. The Editor
reserves the right to refuse any contribution and to make minor textual changes
without reference to the author.
Contributions can be submitted in any format, hand-written, typescript,
double-spaced on one side of the paper, or, preferably on floppy disc or CDrom,
in formats compatible with Windows (Word) or Mac (Quark/InDesign); if in
the latter format a hard copy should also be supplied.
High quality illustrations, colour transparencies, prints (in colour or black
and white), or A5 high-resolution digital pictures (these should be at least 300
lines, dots or pixels per inch) are welcome. Authors must remember that it is
sometimes necessary to print an illustration in black and white at the discretion
of the Editor. Maps, diagrams and line drawings are also welcome and should
be drawn clearly in black ink within a minimum base line width of 110mm. If
artwork and illustrations have previously been published elsewhere or are the
property of another, it is the responsibility of the author to obtain any permission
needed for reprinting, and to forward a copy of the permission to the Editor.
Authors should also be aware that, as the lead-time for an issue can be up to two
years, any illustrative material may be in the care of the Editor for a long period
of time.
The present Editor’s policy is to publish the author’s original words as far
as possible but should any changes be necessary the author will be consulted.
Proofs will not normally be sent for approval prior to publication.
References should be cited in the text referring to a list of references at the
end of the article.
Where the Editor considers it necessary she will refer manuscripts to members
of the Lily Group Committee for their consideration and advice.
