Visitors' essays

Rules & suggestions about donating essays

Sponsored link.

As mentioned on the visitor essay menu, essays that we publish from our visitors are not held to the same standards as others in the rest of our web site. But we do have a few rules and suggestions:

A minimum of rules:

	Please prepare your essay in ASCII format (i.e. using a plain text editor), or Microsoft Word and E-mail it to us.
	Sorry, we cannot accept essays in typed form, written form, or via Fax. We are chronically short of time and do not have available staff time to type essays into our computer.
	We reserve the right to reject abusive essays.
	We can only publish essays which are free of copyright restrictions. We assume that any material that you send us is either in the public domain or is written by yourself, and that we are free to publish it. Short quotations from copyrighted material are usually acceptable.
	As noted on our main visitor essay page, we don't publish essays advocating spanking or other corporal punishment of children, or essays dealing with conspiracy theories or doomsday scenarios.

Some suggestions:

	We prefer essays that contain fewer than 150 lines or 2,500 words.
	When you E-mail your essay to us, please request a read receipt. In Outlook Express, click on "Request Read Receipt" in the Tools pull down menu. We are chronically short of time and sometimes are unable to handle all incoming mail. A read receipt confirms that we have read your E-mail.
	Keep a copy of your submission in case you don't get a reply from us. That way, you can resend it.
	Please indicate whether you would like to remain anonymous or would prefer to have your name listed with your essay.
