Responses to the initial call for submissions have shown up some ambiguities
and omissions in that call. So...
(1) It says: "The size should be in the proportion 210 (wide) : 297 (high)".
210 mm x 297 mm is A4 paper and we realise that such paper is not readily
available world-wide; but we hope you will set your word-processor to custom
size, or shift the margins, or rule up your drawing paper accordingly. It is
likely that the actual published page size will be less than A4 so make sure
that you use a type size which will cope with reduction!
So: work in that ratio, 210:297, and be prepared for us to print at anything
down to a regular paperback
(2) We prefer previously unpublished work, but will consider published
work. Please state details of any previous publication.
(3) i.r.c. means international reply coupon - a way of sending us stamps
across national borders - feel free though to just give an email if you
don't actually need return so we can email you saying yes or no
(4) This is an international invitation. Work from poets of all countries is
welcome if it fits the guidelines
(5) Funds permitting, the book will be professionally printed. If they do
not permit then it will be photocopied in-house and professionally bound. So
"camera-ready" means "as long as we don't have to retype it etc". Laser
prints, ink jets, decent photocopies and so on should be fine as long as
they're not running low on toner. (For those of you who know the 750th
publication of WF - WORD SCORE UTTERANCE CHOREOGRAPHY - the introductory
pages were mastered on a sheet feed desk top laser which cost about 100 UK
pounds
(6) There will be an index, but do consider putting your name on the page as
an integral part of the image to be reproduced.
(7) Don't include page numbers because they will be incorrect when they are
in the book. Pencil numbers on the back of the pages to show correct order.
(8) Choice of type face etc is entirely up to you
