Submission Guidelines

MAGC members and invited guests are welcome to submit articles at any time. Regular calls for theme-related articles will be posted to our newsgroups.

Please contact the Editor - Dianne Karg Baron

WRITTEN TEXT GUIDELINES

.
Please submit all articles as MS Word documents (*.doc) or as rich text format (*.rtf) files. Theme-based articles can be up to 1500 words, individual artist-based articles can be up to 750 words. At this time, MAGC does not offer remuneration for articles; however extra copies of any published articles can be made available on request.

IMAGE GUIDELINES

.
Digital images should be submitted in TIFF, JPG or RAW form. Image resolution should be no less than 300 ppi and 1500 x 2100 pixels (12 x 18 cm / 5 x 7 inches), or preferably 2400 x 3000 pixels (20 x 25 cm / 8 x 10 inches) in size. Please label all jpgs clearly, with the last name of the artist and title keyword (i.e. smithflowerring.jpeg). Do not alter or edit images in a photo editing program! Repeated file saving diminishes image quality, especially in jpg format. If corrections need to be made, please add a note and we will make the corrections. 

Images must be accompanied by caption information, which cover the following details: artist name, title of work, materials, construction technique, size and year of completion.

With all article submissions, please include a 50 word biography or byline. (Example: Mary Moore has been a jeweller and metalsmith for fifteen years, living and working in Edmonton. She can be contacted at www.marym.com). These bios are printed on the Contributors Page.
