1) To qualify for a trib copy: Story/stories: Must be a minimum of five printed pages (using the following format). If the story is co-authored (more than one author), then the story must be five pages for EACH author. These page counts we derive from the following format: 12 pt. type, 1" margins, block paragraphs with one blank line between paragraphs. Font choice is ours. We will change your story to the font that we have determined we shall use for that particular zine.  Artwork: Will be determined on an individual basis. Artist, please email DE Press with any questions on submission formats and any other inquiries. All submissions must not have been posted to the web or any mailing lists or groups. We will only consider accepting a net-published fic if it has been substantially altered or changed. If you have any questions on this, please email DE Press.

If you have an emphasized word within thoughts, please bold the word(s).(4) Please DO NOT indent paragraphs. Use block format. Do not center titles, use fancy fonts, or otherwise format. (5) Ellipses – there are only three or four dots in an ellipse. Use only three (…) with a leading or trailing space in sentences.
