Submission Guidelines

Anyone wishing to contribute to the Wargamer should read these guidelines, then contact the Editor.

Content

What we want: The Queensland Wargamer is a forum for people to express their views and ideas about gaming. Any contributions that are in some way related to any form of gaming will be considered: reviews, rules clarifications or changes, fiction, discussions about games or gaming, articles on history, mythology and the like, artwork, etc.

Standards: Your submission will be reviewed before publication by the Editor, who may request changes to its content or style. All contributions must meet the standards set by the University of Queensland Union and enforced by Clubs and Societies: sexist, racist or homophobic material is unacceptable, and will not pass the mandatory inspection. Non-inclusive language (i.e. the generic "he") comes under this prohibition. We recommend that you either avoid sentence structures that require the generic first person (e.g. recasting your sentence in the plural, using proper nouns), consistently alternate between "she" and "he", or consistently use "they" in your submission.

Copyright: The creator of the work retains copyright on any material published in the Queensland Wargamer. We cannot reimburse you for your contribution, but non-members are entitled to a printed copy of the issue that includes your submission. Please note that each issue of the Queensland Wargamer is published both in print and on-line.

Format

Text submissions: Please send text submissions to the Editor via email as a Rich Text Format (RTF) attachment (first preference), in any major word processor format, or plain ASCII text if formatting is not necessary. If you do not have e-mail, send text submissions on a 3.5" IBM-compatible floppy disk (disks will be returned at our expense). If you do not have a computer, send typed or legible hand-written manuscripts, preferably double-spaced.

Artwork: Please send a quality scan at a minimum of 300 dpi in GIF, JPEG, PNG, or MS-Windows bitmap format (please send bitmaps as a zip file!) to the Editor via email or disk. We also accept good quality photocopies (please don't send us originals!). Black and white inked works please - no pencils. A4 size is preferred.
