The editor is always
pleased to receive interesting articles about Sussex local and family
history, preferably between 500 and 2,500 words, and letters and news
items. Please indicate whether your article has been published
previously or if you intend submitting it for publication elsewhere.
Then due acknowledgements can be given as appropriate.
Submissions may be sent as
an e-mail attachment or on disk (as wordprocessor text files), by fax, or
by 'snailmail', preferably typewritten. If handwritten please write
names of people and places in block letters. Please give your name and
address, and quote sources where applicable.
Also most welcome are illustrations to accompany your article, or for 'Picture Gallery'.
These can be scanned (greyscale, 400dpi if possible) and e-mailed as separate image files,
not embedded in a document. Alternatively photos may be sent by post (at your own risk) -
please send SAE for their return.
