Please read this before submitting your article to Axis of Logic!

Axis of Logic only publishes two kinds of submissions:

1. An original article that is being submitted as an "exclusive" * to Axis of Logic.
   
2. An article that has already been published by another media outlet and is being submitted to Axis of Logic for republication as a reprint.

We adhere to the following guidelines, which have long been standards for publishers throughout the world. When you submit an article to Axis of Logic, please indicate:

• If you are submitting your article as an "exclusive" to Axis of Logic
• If your article has been submitted to other media outlets for publication.
• If your article has already published elsewhere (include the URL to the original source).

As you will frequently find in the print media, we do not accept articles that are being submitted simultaneously to multiple publishers. Unlike the print world, we do publish reprints of many articles that have been published in other media. When we publish reprints of articles, we provide the name of the author and publisher, along with a link to the original source.

If you submit your article to more than one publisher as original writing, we will not publish a reprint of the article until you provide the URL of the original publication. This is necessary in order for us to give proper attribution to you, the author, and to the original publisher.

*When we receive an article as an Axis of Logic Exclusive, we hold it for 24 hours before releasing it for publication of reprints on other media outlets. Upon release, we require only that the the following attributions be included with all reprints:

• Axis of Logic designation
• Axis of Logic copyright
• The URL to the original source.

After your article has been published as an Axis of Logic exclusive, we encourage you to send the published article to other media outlets for republication as reprints. We ask you to request the secondary publisher(s) to include: (1) the Axis of Logic designation; (2) the Axis of Logic copyright (© Copyright 2007 by AxisofLogic.com) and URL to the original source. All articles accepted as Axis Exclusives become the property of Axis of Logic. Axis of Logic never prohibits republication of our articles as long as proper attributions (above) are applied; nor do we require that written permission be obtained for republication. Failure to follow these instructions may result in non-publication of your submission on Axis of Logic.

We do our best to reply to all those who submit original writing to us within 48 hours. Submissions must be sent to only one of the following co-editors:

• Les Blough

• Paul Harris



About the submission format:

Our articles are posted using 10-point Verdana, no extra spacing between paragraphs, and hard line-breaks rather than soft (for most people, that means hitting <enter> at the ends of paragraphs line-breaks rather than <shift-enter> or telling your word processor to use hard line-breaks automatically). Removing those soft line-breaks (or the line-breaks that seem to appear at the end of every line in some text files) is a real chore and may delay publication of your submissions.

If you submit photos or other graphics, we will try to include them as they appear in your submission; but we may move them around a bit to fit our page format or, at our discretion, leave them out altogether. Photos in .jpg format work best.
