Rules of the Road
By Holly Franklin, Editor
The Puslinch Pioneer
As an editor, I receive all kinds of articles and photographs for our newspaper. In the interest of saving both me, as editor, and you, as article writer and submitter, time, energy and/or heartache, the following are guidelines for submitting articles and photos.
Articles of interest and relevance to Puslinch are welcome, always. In order to expedite this process, here are some guidelines:
- We are equipped to receive articles as email attachments, in Microsoft Word. Our computer will not open WordPerfect, or any other vehicle. It insists on Word.
- Documents should be typed in Times New Roman, 9font, single-spaced. If an article is more than @ 500 words, we will make every effort to publish it in its entirety; if we are unable to do so, it may be continued to the next month’s issue. Please title your article, and include your name and phone number.
- Photographs for the articles can be originals, or down-loaded onto a disc or emailed to puslinchpioneer@sentex.net
- Deliver your original photograph to the Puslinch Library – Frankie Shaw, our librarian, will put it in the Puslinch Pioneer box and see that it gets to the correct person.
We are very grateful to our readership and others who take the time and effort to write for us – without you, our terrific community paper would not exist. Thank you!!!
