• Be sure to proofread and spell-check your article before submission.  We are not professional editors.  We will do very little editing for grammar and spelling.  As much as possible, what you submit is what will be published.  We reserve the right to edit submissions for content, clarity, and length, and the right to publish or not publish your article.  Any necessary edits will be provided for your review prior to publication.  A wide variety of factors determine which articles make it into DROPS.  We cannot guarantee publication of a submission.  However, we can promise that great effort will be made to work with authors to ensure publication.

A DROPS webpage will be created for each author.  3) Your manuscript in any format that I can read. 

• Photos and artwork for the Table of Contents Page Photo Bar or for photo spreads, and photos or artwork included with articles should be submitted in .jpeg format with 20% compression rate (this is equal to "80% quality"), or .gif format, depending which format gives you the smallest file size with a good quality ratio.

• Articles may be submitted in hard copy or via electronic mail.  If I can read it, I'll take it!
