Con Book Guidelines & Templates

Naming conventions

It is important to name your files in some logical way so we know what they are. For example, if you are submitting an ad from a con, you would use your con name in the file name i.e. MyCon01.eps. Please also add the extention of the file that you are submitting using the standard three dot extention.

Written Materials

Short fiction, articles and poems are welcome (not to exceed 5 pages in length). Submissions must fit the overall theme of Further Confusion by featuring primarily therianthropic or anthropomorphic characters and should fit the 2007 theme of spies, secret agents, and master villains. They must not contain explicit sex or violence and should limit rough language; in short, they should be suitable for teens and older.

Not every submission will be published, in part because available page count is limited. Any written materials should be submitted in .txt or .doc format to .

Artwork

Art submissions may be black and white, greyscale, RGB or CMYK. Color submissions are encouraged, as the Conbook will be in full color this year. Be sure that the artwork submitted is the correct height and width. See the table below for available sizes, dimensions and resolutions.
