This is the preferred way of submitting copy [articles, etc.] and images [photos, etc.]. The easier it is for us to use them, the more likely it is we will! All submissions should be about canoe and kayak sailing and related topics. Email ALL submissions to:

Copy: -12 point, Times New Roman, left-hand justified ONLY. No fancy formatting, etc. that I'll just end up undoing anyway. -News pieces: 300 – 500 words -Articles: 300 or more words. Pieces that are more than 1,000 may be serialized—run in consecutive issues. Please tell me you'd like to consider that for your longer article. I'm very open to the prospect for worthwhile topics. -How-to, building and repair/restoration articles: make these photo-heavy with explanations for each photo or diagram. -Travelogues: Include plenty of photos, etc. Consider including links to Google Maps. -If you have a particular placement for an image within the document, place its file name in brackets [example.jpg] where you'd like to have it placed. -By lines include your name and your town so we know where you're from. Images: [ALL images--Includes photos, scans, diagrams, etc.] -Color preferred, but B&W, etc. are a welcome change when appropriate -Large, crisp images are preferred to small ones. I limit image sizes in the publication, but I can reduce large ones to produce better quality. -Name each file, then give important info listed in a separate, clearly labeled document. If the images accompany an article, etc., list the info at the end of the document. For example: example.jpg; photo by Joe Doe; woman in blue is Deborah, man in green is Ed
