How should I prepare my manuscript?

It can help our volunteer editors a great deal if authors follow some basic guidelines.

How should I Embed my Graphics and Photos?

Please do not embed your graphics or photos! A "manuscript" is a text file - it should not contain graphics or photos. (And, strictly speaking, it should not contain tables either). Well, OK, to be clear... if your manuscript does contain photos or graphics, we will delete them, so please also supply them separately, as outlined below.

What Resolution and Format Should my Graphics Be?

How Should I Send My Files?

The golden rule here is "Never, ever, ever send us two files that have the same name. If you send us a revision, however slight, you should rename the file. It is good practice, when writing in Word, to frequently rename the file anyway - just use a number at the end of the file name, e.g. Caves_on_Mars-v4.doc.
