How to Contribute an Article or Photos
The editors of "big time" car magazines are deluged by requests to feature this car or that car in their publications. Parts suppliers (and their publicity firms) keep the office phones ringing off their hooks. A team of professional writers and photo-hounds fly off "on assignment" to capture the latest "glamour shots"...Frankly, the British V8 Newsletter exists in a different world: a world where readers like you volunteer to research and write articles... a world where every reader is asked to fill out a "how it was done" questionnaire upon completion of their engine conversions. (Download the questionnaire as a 16KB PDF file or as a 38KB Microsoft Word document.)
Please write or e-mail us if you're interested in volunteering a little of your time, an article, or a photo. Don't worry - you don't have to sweat the details. We'll be happy to proofread, edit, and format your article.
One more thing we really need - your photos for our website! We accept any photos at all. Obviously, the higher the resolution the better, but we can work with all digital file types (e.g. "jpeg" or "tif") and all conventional media (e.g. prints, slides, or negatives.) Please include any information that will help us categorize, caption or credit the photograph correctly.
Thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely yours,
Curtis Jacobson

Top Ten Tips for Submitting Digital Photos to The British V8 Newsletter
| 1) | Please send the highest resolution - largest file size - versions available. |
| (150KB per JPG photo is good. 1MB is better. Photos of red cars require higher resolution to look their best.) | |
| 2) | Submit lots of photos! |
| 3) | Please don't edit, crop or downsize photos before you send them. Trust us to make photos look their best. |
| (Unless you have a "vanity plate", we'll take care of altering your license/registration plate for you.) | |
| 4) | Any popular file format (JPG, TIF, etc.) is fine. |
| 5) | Please don't superimpose captions on top of images. |
| 6) | If your camera has an option to superimpose a date label onto pictures, please turn that OFF. |
| 7) | Please don't insert photos in a Word document. They come through better as individual files. |
| 8) | Please tell us what the photo shows, if it isn't obvious. |
| 9) | Don't send us any photo that belongs to someone else! We can't use "copyrighted" photos without permission. |
| 10) | Don't hesitate to send photos of people having fun with their cars. We can't get enough of those. |
