Submission of Material and Articles
We welcome all articles and letters pertaining to outdoor activities of interest to DPS members. Some submittals tend to be too long and space limitations and other considerations are factors in the decision to publish an article/map. The editor may modify submittals in a perhaps, misguided attempt to increase clarity or decrease length but will hopefully not modify your meaning. If you are a participant and know that the leaders are not going to submit a trip report then feel free to submit a report. We welcome reports of private trips to unlisted peaks and private trips using non standard routes to listed peaks. Please DATE all submissions. Please indicate topo map names, dates, and contour intervals. Digital (.doc or .txt) content is essential and will help ensure that there are no typographical errors. Send copy to the Editor by the published deadline. Please include a SASE if you would like to have your material (maps/pictures) returned. If possible, print on the back of a picture when and where it was taken, what it is of, who is in it, and who took it. Email usually works best for simple text based submissions and minimizes editing complexity. Email editor for details on submitting attachments and/or digital photo scans.
Recruitment of Replacement Newsletter Editor underway. Contact Section Chair, Bob Wyka for task requirements and to present expressions of interest in the position.
Email editor desertpeakssage@att.net for details on submitting attachments and/or digital photo scans. EDITOR: Bob Wyka, PO Box 50, PMB 202 Lake Arrowhead, CA 92352-0050. |
