We are always looking for new ideas for this
newsletter, so if you want to see something in particular, you have
only to ask. The newsletter can only survive if we have a steady
flow of items to publish. You may not believe this, but you are all
“budding” authors. Writing is not as difficult as you think, so here
are a few pointers as to what we are looking for to get you into
black & white.
Articles can be any length you like. A page is
about 800 words, but more or less is always welcome. If it is
longer, then it may be serialised over a couple of issues, providing
this doesn’t ruin the story line. Ideally they ought to be related
to photography & should be your own work, not “lifted” from
somewhere else !
Articles should be in Microsoft Word, but if not
don’t worry, we’ll find a way around it. Don’t bother to try &
format your article into columns etc as this will be done for you.
It can be put on a floppy disc, or a CD or e-mailed – which
ever is easiest for you.
We do like to see some photos too. One of the
author is really a must so that readers know who he or she is. We
can quite happily come & take your photo for you, if it will help.
If you do provide any electronic photos please
don’t bother reducing their physical size or pixel dimensions as
this will be done for you. They can be any format you like.
Alternatively, we can arrange to do any flatbed or film scanning for
you. Naturally, you will need to have full copyright of any photos
published & if you want them displayed in any particular positions,
to illustrate your article, you have only to tell me.
