Wimborne Publishing Ltd., publishers of Everyday Practical
Electronics magazine, is always on the look-out for both
constructional and general feature articles. To avoid
disappointment, it is, however, best to send in a brief precis
of the proposed article together with any relevant circuit
diagrams and specifications before writing a complete article,
which might be turned down because we have something similar in
the pipeline, or because it isn't suitable material.

The following notes may help those writing for the first time:

1. All manuscripts should be printed or typed, with double line
spacing, on one side of plain paper. Diagrams should be on
separate sheets clearly labelled with figure numbers and
captions. It is best not to supply finished artwork for diagrams
since they will invariably be re-drawn by our technical art
staff to conform with our house style, but your submitted
diagrams must be clearly drawn and labelled.

It is helpful if you are able to supply the article on disk. We
accept PC-compatible disks and most word processor packages will
download into our typesetting software. Otherwise an ASCII
version on disk will suffice. We will, of course, still require
a printed copy of the article.

Where printed circuit boards are used, original film or artwork
is required (twice up if possible).

2. Photographs of constructed equipment are sometime helpful but
we will normally require the prototype for testing and
photography before publication in any case. However, prototypes
should not be sent with the article; we will contact you nearer
the time.

3. We do not like to restrict authors to a size of article
because this nearly always depends on the subject or equipment
being described. What we would like to see is a full description
which gives ALL the essential details without waffling.
Obviously if your manuscript has page after page of description
of some minor point, it will be cut back. Alternatively, not
enough detail on essential points means we have to re-write
parts of the article, or ask you to.

4. We purchase 'All Rights' on manuscripts and our payment for
this is Stlg 55.00 per magazine page. By the time we have added
a heading, photographs and illustrations, even the smallest
constructional project is two pages and the average for a small
project is four pages. Payment will be made at the time of
publication.

5. Once articles have been received, they are vetted by our
technical staff and a decision is then made on their acceptance
for publication. This takes about a week. Actual publication
will normally follow acceptance by a few months.
