The Luminous green publication should:

• appeal to diverse audiences,
• not have much 'jargon'
• reflect a 'luminous green' spirit and have a relatively lasting value as a record of current thinking, growing and making
• it should go beyond documentation of individual projects and become a resource for people who would like to work and live in a 'luminous green way': imaginative, electrified and illuminated ;)

The publication will have an online and a hard copy component. The contributions for the online publication can be more informal and blog-like. The hard copy publication will have a more rigorous selection of contributions and a stronger editorial 'stamp'.

Below is a list of recommendations for authors interested in contributing to the Luminous Green publication.

• Short contributions: Up to 1500 words, with images
• Long contributions: Up to 5000 words, with or without images

Please submit plain text, .doc. .odt, or .rtf files without images embedded. If the images should be placed in the text, please make a note in the text like this: [insert image smith1.jpg here]. For submission of images, follow the guidelines for images below.

Please clean your text up as much as possible (beware of white spaces, indentations, …. , etc.). Optionally, you can provide basic style indications (headings, subheadings, body text).

Please use the following style when using references in your submissions:

The luminous green publication encourages a variety of contributions. These can include,but are not limited to:

• Theoretical articles (not necessarily following the academic standards)
• Travelogues
• Manuals (how to…)
• Artistic documentation
• Interviews
• Short statements
• Manifestos
• Poems
• Stories
• Commented code
• Recipes
• …

• For longer texts: 'serious' magazine style, with a touch of academic rigour (only where appropriate).

• For short contributions: where images are a dominant medium, we allow more 'frivolity', i.e. the contributions could bring a more 'airy' or poetic atmosphere to the publication.

• Policy regarding “Personal Journey/Insight/Revelation about Myself” genre in articles: it better be well-written

Images can be submitted as:

• Individual Photographs and Illustrations: Colour or B/W, high resolution (preferably 300dpi, if not available, then as large as you can get them), in any digital format (such as .jpg, .tiff, .eps, .psd, .xcf, .pdf), with captions.
• Photo Essays: Up to 10 images, high resolution, numbered colour or B/W, with captions,
• Single or series of images as a part of a textual contribution: Up to 5 images (unless otherwise agreed). For each image follow instructions for individual photographs.

Naming convention: use your last name and a number, such as “smith1.tiff, smith2.tiff, etc.”
