How to prepare and submit your draft:
We recommend you read Plot’s mission statement and Points before considering a submission. The length of a contribution is typically between 1000 and 2500 words, and writing styles can range from the academic to the poetic and experimental. The current image captions* and tags are meant as guidance and can be changed. Each draft should be accompanied by a short text blurb (20-50 words), and a bio (30-70 words).

Please send your submission for Draft #1 as Word document to the editors, who will review material on an ongoing basis. If your submission has been accepted, its finalized version will be published in Points. If you need more information or have further questions about a submission, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Want to use your own set of images for this topic?
Please follow the steps above and add your images (usually 2-4, including the name of the photographers as well as captions and tags) to your submission.
