It would save your editor a good deal of time if you would a few editorial guidelines which I have set below:.......Thanks-Editor.

  1. Please don't indent anything--story titles, bylines, paragraphs, etc.

  2. Separate paragraphs with a full empty line. Just as I've done with this entry.

  3. If you know how, do not use any hard returns, except between paragraphs.

  4. Don't attempt to bold, italicize, or otherwise format unless you do so in a formatted document such as Word, WordPerfect or rtf, etc.

  5. Use one and only one space after all periods, commas, and end-of-sentence punctuation.

  6. Commas and periods always go inside quotation marks. Always. No exceptions.

  7. Capitalize God when writing about the one God as opposed to one of many gods. 

  8. Capitalize Bible when referring to the book that contains the Old and New Testaments.

  9. Do not italicize FIG Leaves or the names of other periodicals

Other FIG Leaves standards:

Italicize titles of books, plays, major musical compositions, movies, genre, ships, spacecraft, sculpture, foreign words, words used as words, Plaintiff v. Defendant, and for special emphasis.

Enclose in quotation marks direct quotations, clarifications, special use of a word or phrase "scare quotes" or "apology quotes," definitions, and the following titles: series of books, articles, chapters, essays, short poems, TV and radio programs, songs, and short musical compositions.
