Submission Guidelines
Do you have knowledge to share or a technique
to teach? Do you have an opinion about an issue
involving model horses or an insight you would
like to offer? Is there something you feel needs to
be changed or addressed by the community as a
whole? Equine Collectibles is committed to airing
substantive discussions about topics of interest to
collectors and exhibitors, and is always looking
for thoughtful—and thought-provoking—articles,
essays or even just a letter to the Editor.
When submitting materials, please use the following guidelines:
Technical Guidelines - Articles
A typical article runs between 800 and 2000
words. Letters to the Editor should be no longer
than 300 words; if you find that you need significantly more space than that, please consider writing a full article instead. Text can be submitted
as a .doc file or in the body of an email. Articles
with photos are preferred; images should be sent
separately using the guidelines below.
Technical Guidelines - Images
Full-color printing requires high-resolution images. For best results, images should be 300 dpi.
Lower resolution photos (72 dpi is the default on
many digital cameras) will still work if the images
are large (greater than 1800 pixels in width). Photos submitted for consideration for the cover need
to be 2625 x 3375 pixels. Please do not resample
images. It is not necessary to convert your images
to CMYK. Acceptable file formats are: .png, .jpg,
.psd, .pdf
Event Listings
Please include the following information: date,
event name, location, event coordinator or show
holder, contact information (email), website and
any qualifier status, if any. Shows do not have to
be qualifiers to be listed. For specialty shows, and
shows that offer full Novice or Youth divisions,
that information will be included when space
permits. For online and mail-in photo shows,
please list months that shows are offered and
the sponsoring organization (club) if there is one,
whether or not membership is required. Clubs
that offer both types of photo shows can submit
listings for both types.
Advertising
Please follow the instructions for images. Fullpage ads have a .125 bleed all around. All others
ad sizes are exact dimensions (no bleed). Include
or embed all necessary fonts. Premium location
ads (front and back interior covers, back cover)
can be reserved and are billed 30 days prior to
publication. Final ad dimensions are:
Full page :
8.5 x 11
Half page (horizontal):
7.625 x 5
Half page (vertical):
3.75 x 10.25
Quarter page:
3.75 x 5
Deadline
The deadline for editorial content for the June
2016 issue is March 30. Print-ready advertising
must be sent by April 11. Advertising is limited
and is sold on a first-come basis.
