| AUTHORS' GUIDELINES |
| Subject Matter: JMS publishes articles of interest to people of French Canadian descent. Articles dealing with history and genealogy are of primary interest, although articles on related topics will be considered. Especially desirable are articles dealing with sources and techniques, i.e. "how-to guides." |
| Length: Length of your article should be determined by the scope of your
topic. Unusually long articles should be written in such a way that they can be broken down into two or more parts. Surnames should be capitalized. |
| Style: A clear, direct conversational style is preferred. Keep in mind that most of our readers have average education and intelligence. An article written above that level will not be well received. |
| Manuscripts: This publication is produced on an IBM-compatible computer,
using state of the art desktop publishing software. While this software
has the capability to import text from most word-processing programs, we
prefer that you submit your article in straight ASCII text or in
WordPerfect 5.1 or 6.x format on 3.5" floppy disk.
If you do not use an IBM-compatible computer, or do not have access to
a computer, your manuscript should be typewritten on 8.5" x 11"
paper. It should be double-spaced with a 1-inch margin all around.
If notes must be used, endnotes |
| Illustrations: Our software is capable of importing graphics in
most IBM-compatible formats. Vector graphics (PIC, PLT, WMF, WMT, CGM, DRW, or EPS) are preferred over bit-mapped graphics (BMP, MSP, PCX, PNT, or TIF). Scanned images can also be used. We prefer the Tagged Image File Format (TIF) for scanned photos. You may also submit printed black-and white photographs. We will have
them |
| Other Considerations: Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all
material submitted.
All material published in Je Me Souviens is copyrighted and becomes the property of the AFGS. All material submitted for publication must be original. Previously published material, except that which is in the public domain, will be accepted only if it is submitted by the author and is accompanied by a signed release from the previous publisher. Articles that promote a specific product or service, or whose subject matter is inappropriate, will be rejected. |
| Members' Corner: Members' Corner is a section whose purpose is to
provide a conduit by which our members may contact each other for the purpose of exchanging information. This is a service provided for members only at no cost on a space-available basis. You may submit short items (one or two paragraphs) in the following categories: |
| Work in Progress - If you are involved in an unusual project or are researching a specific subject or surname, you may use Members' Corner to announce this fact. Members able to help are encouraged to contact you. |
| Books Wanted - If you are searching for a book or books to aid you in your research, you may advertise your need here. Please include as much information as possible about the books, i.e. title, author, publisher, publication date, etc. |
| Books for Sale - We will accept items for used books which you wish to
sell, or for books you have personally authored. Be sure to include the
name of the book and your asking price.
Book dealers may not use this space. Book dealers are encouraged to purchase advertising space in this journal. Rates are published below. |
| Cousin Search - If you have a living relative with whom you have lost contact, you may use this space to help in your search. Include the person's full name and last known address, along with any other pertinent information. |
| All submissions to Members' Corner must include your name, address and phone number. Deadlines are 15 January for the Spring issue, and 15 August for the Fall issue. Keep in mind that this is a semi-annual publication. Where time is important, items should be sent to AFGnewS. |
