We welcome contributions to the magazine from readers, but please take time to peruse our guidelines and Small Print which cover all submitted material.

TEXT FORMAT

• Submitted text is preferred in a Microsoft Word document, but we can read many other word processing files. We prefer text to be emailed direct to the editor, but you may send text on a CD, or as a printed, hard copy. See contact details below.

• Please include author’s name and complete contact information with all submissions. A title and brief introduction to preface how-to projects are also encouraged. A complete list of tools and materials is required for all how-to projects.

• How-to projects generally run between 500 and 2500 words. Simple, brief  “how-to” articles as well as in-depth, projects are encouraged.

We require illustrations or photographs to accompany projects and features where possible.

• Hard copy photographs printed on photo-lab quality paper (not from an inkjet printer) are also accepted. Photographs must be sharp, clear and scannable.
• Camera-ready line drawings or computer generated illustrations to accompany photographs are not required, but encouraged, especially if they add clarity to a project. Drawings that need to be redrawn for publication are acceptable.
• The finished piece must be available for photography, if requested. Other items room boxes and scenes may also be sent in, or brought in, for photography. All items will be returned to sender.

REMUNERATION

The amount of payment is determined by the editor based upon, but not limited to, the following criteria: article and photograph quality, length of article and overall complexity of the work.
• If remuneration is warranted, contributors may also choose to take their payment in the form of magazine subscriptions/renewals, back issues, or advertising credit. Please contact us for more information.
