Submission Guidelines

1.	Ask yourself if the article you're submitting is really of interest to Submariners. This may seem like an obvious one, but we've had some strange submissions in the past.
2.	Check to see what articles are already on the site. If your idea is not already covered, then read on:
	a	Articles should be detailed but not overly technical in jargon.
	b	If your article requires images, they should be your original artwork or scanned from a personal photo. Saved as .jpg or .gif file format. Non-animated. No flash files and please zip them up.
	c	Plain text is the preferred format for submissions but if you wish to send us a MS Word document, that's okay too. Do Not send HTML.
	d	Please don't submit articles that have not been spell-checked been checked for grammar been checked for technical accuracy
	e	Finally, remember that you are writing for the web, not for print, so be as clear and concise as possible.
	f	And finally (no, we mean it this time, really), bear in mind that the more you stick to these guidelines, the less we have to edit and re-work, and therefore the quicker your piece gets published.
3.	The Submariners Association (Barrow Branch) or I W Hillbeck shall not be liable for the content or any copyright infringement by another party; before submitting content that is not original work, ensure you have legal permission to submit the material.
4.	We do not pay for submissions.
