I know that some of the residents of this parish have put pen to paper for the comics in the past so was wondering if I could call upon your expertise as it is a field of which I am a complete know nothing. I am thinking of writing an article about a climbing area and was wondering if anybody knows:
- How long (number of words) should I aim for?
- I assume I'd need to provide photo's and other graphics (e.g. location maps, topos, blah blah) but the comic would do all the layout/editing type stuff. I.e. I just send them a word doc (other text handling programs are available) with my text and a bunch of image files and they sort it out from there (or tell me to bugger off, the writing's uneditable drivel and the photo's are all out of focus)?
Any other hints and tips gratefully received...
