Sytle Sheet We have guidelines for submitting to our publications. Please find some of the guides we give to our writers. These are posted as help and a way to review your writing before submission. Go
To Top 1. Please send everything in 12-pt Times New Roman font, one-inch margins all around, single-spaced, no spacing between paragraphs, no indents but hard returns after paragraphs. In that format, illuminations should be between 1¾ and 2¼ pages long. 2. Send your illuminations/illustrations for your assigned week in one Word document. If you’re doing more than one week, they may be sent together or separately. However, if you have additional illustrations for Sundays other than your assigned week, please send those in a separate Word document and mark the date above the illustration or series of illustrations. 3. Put your initials in parenthesis after each illustration, one space after the final period. There is no period after your initials. For example: …teach the love of God. 4. Make sure that your endnotes
are in the correct format and have all of the information needed, with the period
outside of the parenthesis. This is true for illuminations as well as illustrations
if you’re quoting from a book, or closely paraphrasing: On the other hand, this is acceptable for small quotes: “The time is always right to do the right thing.” (Martin Luther King, Jr.) However, in the case of attributing sources, it is always best to give too much than not enough. Therefore, whenever possible, provide the complete publication information. If you have failed to provide us with enough, we will send the quote back to you for complete info. It is your job to give credit to the source and at the same time protect yourself and LectionAid with accurate information. 5. No direct quotes over 50 words!!! Sometimes these quotes have been embedded in illustrations or illuminations, and sometimes they’ve been submitted as an illustration. We can’t publish them. Please use word count to make sure you are under the 50-word limit, and modify your quotes accordingly. Please note we can not publish an entire poem or hymn even though it is less than 50 words. LECTIONAID CONTENT SHEET One concern that we have is that the “voices” of the writers span a variety of styles. We don’t have to be 100% conformed, but there needs to be more unity in what our audience reads. Therefore, please look these new guidelines over and work within them. Audience: Illuminations: (would what
you write help you preach the text?) Illustrations: (would you
use these in your own sermons?) Go
