PROPOSALS

To propose a contribution or idea for the Reading/s or Alerts sections of HOW2, send a brief description of the subject, title and current status --"unpublished" or "reprint" (with publishing information) -- to: Kate Fagan <kfag6311@mail.usyd.edu.au>

Submissions for the Postcard section should be sent to Kathleen Fraser <kfraser@sfsu.edu>

You may propose a piece of new writing, or any scholarly or informal "reading" directly to the guest editor of the section for which your piece is intended, by e-mail or a file attachment . [See appropriate section for next issue's guest editor/her e-mail address.]

You will be contacted within one month of sending your proposal, regarding its viability for the issue in progress.

HOW TO SUBMIT WRITING TO HOW2

Sending Submissions by Email: Essays, "readings," scholarly studies or pieces of "new writing" (poetry or mixed genre forms) should be submitted directly to the editor of that particular section. Make sure you identify -- in the subject or the message -- which section of HOW2 the writing is being directed at (e.g.: new writing, readings, conferences, forums, etc.).

Text: is best sent as RTF (Rich Text Format) or a Microsoft Word document (Microsoft Word 98 or 2000) as an attachment to an e-mail (not within the e-mail). Most word processors can save a file as RTF text.

File Title: Please write the title of each file so that your surname starts the filename, eg. Faganpoem1.doc. Remember also to attach the appropriate suffix (eg. ".rtf" or ".doc") to the filenames if you are using a Mac.

Font: The standard font for all texts in How2 is Georgia or Times New Roman.

Layout: In most cases, we produces poems in single space, and prose pieces in double space. If your piece requires a different sort of line spacing, please indicate this and we will try to accommodate you.

Please use tabs rather than the spacebar when formatting poems. Arrangements using the spacebar are lost when converted to HTML.

Graphics: These are best sent as e-mail attachments in the forms of JPEGs. Please add the suffix ".jpg" (not ".jpeg") in lower case to the file name. If you are are scanning the artwork yourself, please scan it at 100% size, with the resolution set to 300, 150 or 72 DPI.

All manuscripts should include a short bio/biblio note with recent information and publications. In addition, a Working Note must accompany all "new writing" contributions. (See current new writing section for examples).

GUIDELINES

Proposals for original artwork should bear in mind the requirements of this journal. A xerox or photograph of suggested graphics should be sent to the editors, rather than original art work. If a piece of work is requested by an editor for a particular issue, the artist will then be asked to send the original art work to a designated postal address.
