Keen to contribute to Eyeplug? Good on yer. But before committing fingers to keys, please take a few moments to read and inwardly digest our house style guidelines:
- All submissions should be sent by email as a Word attachment

- Please indicate the elected category(s) on the website that it should fall into. *This can be several
- All copy should be presented in 12pt Times New Roman and the paragraph set to double spaced lines
- Any associated images should be sent as separate attachments and not pasted into the body text at 600 pixels wide rgb jpeg only (72dpi)
- Do not use bold, underlined, or capitalised text – if you wish to impart emphasis please use italics
- Quotes should have double quotation marks – “thus”
- Album titles should be italicised and specific song titles surrounded by single quotes, ‘Like This’
- When citing specific bands, do not capitalise the definitive article (there are only two exceptions to this rule; The Who and The Clash)
- Numbers of ten or less should be written as words, whereas larger numbers may be written numerically
- If you are inserting your own text to a quote for clarity please use [squared brackets]
- All secondary sources must be clearly credited
- Hyphens should only be used to connect compound words (i.e. ex-lion-tamer), en dash (–) should be used in all other instances
- The Editor reserves the right to edit (how he sees fit) an submissions regardless.
