THE EDITOR welcomes new contributors, it is your
Journal so why not contribute to it?
Articles on any subject will be welcomed: sport,
adventure, work, experience, humour, fiction—even
fantasy. While articles of any length will be considered,
the ideal is in the region of 2,000 words. Scripts should
be double-spaced type written, though manuscript will
be accepted. Pictures should preferably, be black and
white but colour prints will do—some slight loss of
quality occurs.
A reasonable level of controversy is the life-blood
of any Journal—it promotes thought and discussion.
Security however, is always a consideration and, though
the ultimate responsibility rests with the Editor, it should
be borne in mind when touching upon possible sensitive
subjects. As THE GAZETTE is principally a magazine
the purely technical article should be avoided, though
no hard and fast boundary exists.
Why not use THE GAZETTE if you have previously
written for publication, why not try your hand if you
have not.
