3]SUBMITTING MATERIAL
1]-------------------

3]WE NEED PROGRAMS
1]     JUMPDISK is a paying market for programs, articles and, to  lesser
extent, art.
     We need more programs. We're not tied to Basic. Any language is
welcome. We purchase one-time rights only, and authors retain all rights to
their work,.
     Programs fetch from $25 to $250. Articles take away $25 to $100.
Reviews get $25 to $50. Programs published as shareware by authors, or which
have already appeared on PD disks before being submitted to us, get $50.
Art screens pay $10 each, or $50 if used as a JUMPDISK title screen. Short
tips used in the TIPS column are paid at $5 to $10 each.

     ALL SUBMITTED MATERIAL MUST BE THE ORIGINAL WORK OF THE PERSON
WHO SUBMITS IT.

3]WHAT WE WANT IS WHAT YOU GOT
1]     We can use programs in any language that works on the Amiga.
     We publish an eclectic mix of programs and articles.
     Though good games are welcome, we could use more serious programs.
     If submitted work has already appeared elsewhere, it's best you let us
know. If it's great and original work, we'll pay a premium.
     Please use 80 columns to format your text and write your programs, but
be free to open windows that use large 40-character text and graphics; they
work.
     Programs should have icons.
     Include full instructions on how your program runs. If these are not
within the program itself, they must be in the form of documentation that
is on a disk as a single ASCII file.
     We prefer that Basic programs work in both Amiga Basic 1.1 and 1.2.
Let us know if your program makes any special library call, loads material
from files, or requires Workbench 1.2.
     We prefer that on ending, a program break back to the Workbench screen.
If you don't know how to do this, we will work it in for you.
     Put all needed files of a program within a single drawer.
     Art screens should have icons.
     Articles are required on an ASCII disk file in TEXT 80. We prefer text
formatted in TEXT 80 via the CLI ED. Working with most other word processor
formats means we have to reformat the text, a tedious task. If you do use a
word processor, we can handle it. However, don't cram the text with
gingerbread code that boldfaces, underlines and the like. We just have to
spend extra time taking it out, all the while with a lessening of the
initial enchantment your work instilled in us.
     Print out hard copy of both program listings and articles -- unless you
have no printer.
     Label disks carefully and completely. We can't access your work unless
you tell us program and file names and how to find them.
     If your opus requires transfer to another disk, include clear and
precise step-by-step instructions of how it is done. In fact, be lucid to
the point of presuming JUMPDISK editors are extremely stupid. We will reject
even good material if it is presented in the form of a puzzle.
     Include a brief letter describing the nature of your submission. If you
prefer, send us a query letter first.
     Always enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope that is roomy enough
to contain your entire submission. The postage should be affixed. It should
be in the form of stamps, not postage meter labels. There should be
sufficient postage affixed to ensure return of your material. If you live
beyond the U.S., include international reply coupons for return of material.
     Send submissions to:
JUMPDISK SUBMISSIONS
1493 Mt. View Ave.
Chico, CA 95926

     It can take us more than two months to give you the decision. Why so
long? When we put together an issue, we consider everything we have, then
make selections for that month. Everything else waits until the next month.

3]WHAT'S HOT AND NOT
1]     We're overstocked with games and graphics demos, but if that's what
you have, send it if it's good.
     More utility programs. More activities that involve the user. More
programs that use art as an integral part of the activity.
     More music, maestro!
