Getting published, Me?

Why, I've never dreamt of it! Is it possible?

Dear Sir, Dear Madam,

 

Yes, indeed. There are actually two kinds of situation, of which the discrimination implies the existence or not of a third party. Let us proceed with care and method so as to attain clarity in our very own formulations.

 

The first branch of the alternative is that your paper has not already been published elsewhere and so that you are in the seek for an editor. In this case we can become the elected one, or more precisely, one of us may become the elected one. For this to happen, we need to have some material submitted to us to decide whether to get involved in a publication or not.

Without being too righteous about words, well why should we not after all we are editors, so being righteous about words we cannot intake manuscripts. We do have an e-based business principle which implies that all communications with us should be wired (even though the first connection may be wireless). What we can do, however is to intake weepy-scripts, if this new concept should cover the idea of an original piece of writing having been word-processed.

The ideal support, for it is universal and does not carry along licensing issues, is the .htm (or .html) file. It is not true that a decent layout in this format cannot be achieved. It is not true... For more extensive papers – over, say, 10 american letters or european A4 pages, processed in say 10 or 12 Times New Roman or equivalent – an abstract is required, is a mandatory requirement. Not exceeding a single page of the same formatting, the abstract shall be. The choice of its content is at the discretion of the Author, which means he or she is free, for example, either to properly abstract a page in the corpus of the submitted work which he or she believes to be a strong argument in favour of a publication, or to present or represent the overall structuring principle of the work which a sheer abstract risk to betray. Whichever other solution we should have failed to mention as a possible manner to advocate for the publication of an extensive paper in the restrictive form of a single page is of course acceptable. We intend not to limit our Authors'  or Author's-to-be (Author-to-be's?) creativity by no means, we would assure. Make sure however to mention somewhere in the accompanying e-letter or e-mail that it would be a first publication of the submitted (virtual) paper.

 

The second kind of cases – for each case is naturally a single and seminal event – when you already have an editor or when you are yourself the editor of a paper (a real paper) which you would like to discuss the terms for an additional publication – an electronic publication by Hidepark21 Publications. Well this case is a rather more complicated one, although not everly wanting a solution. The general form of the possible solution is a commercial contract between the original editor and the ourself. Since according to our status, only partner editors are authorised to proceed to such commercial contracting in the name of Hidepark21 Publications with external editors, the transaction should necessarily imply one of them. It would further imply the Author for it is in Hidepark21.org general policies that Authors should always be associated with any of the transactions concerning their works, even though he might have granted his original editor with a unlimited licence to act in his name.

The material to be submitted in this case depends a bit on the nature of the document to be associatedly published by us. In the case of an article in a paper journal, magazine, review or other periodical publication, the article, an abstract and the terms of association  jointly proposed by the pair editor-author should be wired. Now in the case of a real, eventual extensive nature, typically a book of sorts,  a somewhat more substantial abstract (10 to 20 pages' summary, a couple of chapters' abstract, ?) and the terms are wired with the mention "book publication" visible somewhere in the document. If interested by the terms and the abstract we will contact you for further discussion which may and probably would imply an exception to the purely e-based principle of communication.

 

Either an original publication or a complementory e-publication, there is only one address to send your applicative documents to: editors@hidepark21.org.

 

Thank you for the interest for our publishing abilities your reading the present words suggests. In the name of all the independent editors at Hidepark21.org, I should like to assure that we are

 

Yours faithfully,

Mederic L. Pascal
