Are you a budding author, or perhaps a more experienced essayist? Then read on… Manuscripts Articles should be relevant to coin collecting or coin club experiences. The author is responsible for all statements made. Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that they are unrestricted from publication (for example: someone else holds a copyright). Please indicate whether the material is original or has been previously published. While digital files are preferred, typed copy is also acceptable. Text should be typed with only one space after periods. The author’s name, address and phone number must appear on the first page or on an accompanying cover letter or email. Suggested minimum article length is two double-spaced typewritten pages. Very long articles may be published as a series. The Quarterly reserves the right to edit all items for format or content. Materials (articles, illustrations, graphs, drawings, etc.) should be sent to Greg Burns, The Quarterly, P.O. Box 2031, Glendora, CA 91740. Digital material may be sent by email to: gburns@adelphia.net. Images Legends or captions for hard copy illustrations should be clearly marked, either on the reverse of the illustration or on a separate piece of paper with a number that corresponds to each illustration. Photographs should not be attached or glued to the manuscript. If the author lacks photographic equipment, material may be sent to The Quarterly for reproduction with prior arrangements. The preferred format for digital files is JPG, though other formats are also acceptable (TIF, GIF, etc.). Acceptable media includes email (see previous paragraph), 3 1/2” floppy, and CD. Please apply final cropping and any necessary digital alterations prior to sending the file. Author’s Biography Authors should submit a brief biography (150 words or less) that includes pertinent information, such as place of birth, professional background, hobby interests and affiliations, and numismatic awards and accomplishments. Source Citations Authors are requested to cite sources used in the preparation of their articles in the manner described below:
Annual Awards Each contributor receives a special pure copper limited edition of the current NASC convention medal (mintage 16 to 25 pieces total) from the editor. Also, contributors to The Quarterly are eligible for consideration for the Karl M. Brainard Memorial Literary Award, the George Bennett Memorial Literary award, and the NASC Junior Literary award (under 18 at the time of publication). These awards are conferred annually and are accompanied by the eternal gratitude of the editor. |
