EN Pub Submissions

[Macbeth]

Kind of a stupid question, but I really have no idea about it, so I have to ask: Is a submission usually a first draft of a completed work, or more of a pitch? If you submit something, are you expected to have it already written, or is it more of a "this is what I'm going to write, this is what I have so far, are you interested?" kind of thing? I feel stupid for asking, but I'd feel even more stupid going about a submission wrong.

I don't actually have anything I'm planning on submitting (though that may change soon), I'm just curious.

Thanks for any info you can give.

I am willing to receive any sort of proposal, be it just an idea in your head or a fully-finished article.

Any program on a style guide?

 

[RangerWickett]

Rough guidlines:

Times or Times New Roman, primarily 12-pt.

Single-spaced, non-indented, with an empty line between paragraphs. When you have section headers, they should be in bold, with 12-pt for really small sections, 14-pt for normal sections, 16-pt for chapter or article titles.

wicket do you handle the submissions for the en world mag i was thinking that
i could cut my monster book into smaller parts and publish it over the course of several issues that way the art would not be as large of an issue what do you think?

Single-spaced, non-indented, with an empty line between paragraphs...

Thank you.

This helps, but how about...

• Tables?
• Stat. blocks?
• Sidebars?

Stab in the dark here, but you want it American standard English, right?

Feel free to submit article proposals if you want to publish your monsters, but I'd prefer to handle each submission individually. Each article needs to be somewhere around 3000 words.

Tables, preferably lay them out as actual cell-tables. Don't use tabs. No cell padding. I much prefer every row have the same number of columns. Don't split cells or merge cells, because that screws with formatting.

Stat blocks, try to stay with the standard stat block format. It's somewhere online. Google it.

Sidebar, sure. Just list [[sidebar]] and [[/end sidebar]] or something like that.
