Guide For Contributors
Copy for The Globe & Laurel should be typed, with margins of about
1in, in normal upper and lower case lettering, NOT IN BLOCK CAPITALS. If
using a word processor use the best quality type the printer can produce,
to ensure that the text can be easily scanned. Articles may be sent as
an email to: royalsmag@btconnect.com or
for NavyNet users: Fleet DRM-globe1. Please ensure that the text is either
sent as a ‘Word’ attachment or in the main body of the email message. Please
do not send text in any other formats. Photographs may be forwarded as
attachments to your email. However, please ensure that they have been saved
in the highest quality JPEG or TIFF format. Do not mix pictures and text
within the same attachment - do not embed pictures in ‘Word’ documents
– they cannot be reproduced for publication. Please avoid excessive use
of abbreviations. If an abbreviation is unlikely to be known by most readers,
serving or retired, the words should be written in full initially, followed
by the abbreviation, in brackets. After that the abbreviation may be used
on its own. Photographs may be black & white or colour prints or digital
images. A picture that is considered suitable as a front or back cover
should be a large colour print or a large resolution digital image, preferably
the size of the cover (A4). Do not send negatives (we do not have developing/printing
facilities) or digitally reproduced pictures, which cannot be scanned because
of their dot pattern – please send a copy of the original digital image
file. Photographs should be captioned on the back (preferably using a stick-on
label - do not write on the back of the print). Initials should be included,
with names and ranks of those shown receiving decorations, awards, trophies
etc. Please pack photographs so that wet ink or other substances do not
rub off on the surface; pack them face to face, back to back and include
some stiff backing. Photographs will be returned if requested, otherwise
they are passed on to the Corps Museum Photographic Library, who will select
photographs considered to be of historic interest for retention. Finally
- please forward your material in by the deadline: the first working day
of every odd-numbered month (January, March, May, July, September) and,
for the November/December issue, the last Monday in October (In order to
allow time for the journal to be despatched prior to Christmas Leave).
