Manuscript Submissions

Manuscripts should be double-spaced typewritten with no underlining. Articles of not more than eight double-spaced typewritten pages are especially desirable so that Topical Time can include as many themes as possible in each issue. Bibliographic references to the manuscript are encouraged, but not mandatory. Also required is a short (one paragraph) biographical sketch of the author which includes both vocational as well as philatelic activities.

Illustrations help to make any article more meaningful to the readers of Topical Time. Therefore, Topical Time needs at least six illustrations with each manuscript submitted for publication consideration. Since it may be necessary to retain original philatelic material loaned to illustrate an article, good color (not black-and-white) photocopies are acceptable. When preparing color photocopies, be sure that they are made against a black background so that the perforations will show when reproduced.
