Guidelines for Articles
Text
Text should be sent as a Word document using the “Normal” style - don’t
attempt to format for the magazine! Bold text, italics and tabs are ok. It may
be sent as an email attachment or submitted via CD.
Do not imbed illustrations in the text document! Show the preferred location
if you wish but leave the actual illustration out - send them separately.
Simple, plain text works best.
Illustrations
Illustrations may be sent to us as either high quality photocopies (hard copies
made using a color laser copier and mailed to us) or as electronic files (scans).
Scans must be sized at a minimum of 100% and scanned at 300 dpi TIF or
JPG files for optimal quality. Internet transmittals can be used. A typical
cover should be at least 1,500 pixels wide.
Originals may be sent. We will make scans and return them immediately by
the same method as they are sent to us. The mails are not risk free – FedEx
may be a better alternative.
Deadlines
Deadline for the receipt of articles, letters, advertising and news is the first of
the month preceding the month of publication. For example, we need everything
for February by January 1.
Your attention to and compliance with these standards will assure the best
quality we can get. Thanks for your contribution!
