welcomes all contributions. The following will provide some tips
for submission, help us improve the editing and publishing processes
and ensure the highest accuracy and quality of content.
Story
Submission
All submissions are subject to editing. Editing of a submission
is not a poor reflection on the writer. It is most often a function
of space availability, consistency, writer voice and other editorial
concerns.
Byline
or Submission Credit
- Please be sure to include your name, state or province and title
with each submission you write. If you request reader feedback,
please include contact information.
- If you are submitting someone else's work with permission, please
include their name, state or province and title in addition to details
regarding where and when the article was originally published.
Software
- Microsoft Word files sent on disk or as email attachments are
preferred.
- Word Perfect can usually be converted to MSWord and is acceptable.
- Other software files can be difficult to convert and should be
avoided if possible.
- Please forward to editor@igwmagazine.com
for consideration.
Text
Formatting
- Please send your story in plain text files or unformatted documents.
- Use only one font and one point size. Times New Roman, 12 point
is our standard.
- Avoid the use of special bullets, tabs, bolding, underlining,
italic, extra paragraph returns, space bar formatting and double
spaces after periods. Publishing format is applied during layout.
Hard
Copy
- Hard copy story submissions, especially lengthy ones, should include
the file on a disk in addition to a printed copy.
