How we will edit
AME does not have an imposed, “tight” house style. With most contributions, our editor makes only minor adjustments, such as:
Some articles require no such editing; others require more “polishing”. The AME team has the experience and resources, including professional editing skills, to make AME a “good read” for everyone.
Because AME has an “all-in-the-family” style, we would rather list you in the by-line (under the article’s heading) by your preferred given name and surname, such as Ron Lucas, rather than as R. Lucas. Please provide your preferred name in your article. If you object to that (e.g. you want to be known by your initials and surname, or by an honorific such as The Reverend, Dr, General, Miss), please indicate your wishes on your draft.
You are welcome to enclose brief biographical notes (up to 70 words), which we will publish at the end of the article. This is where we will refer to any special qualifications that you may prefer us to list. A biographical entry could be:
Fred Moriarty OBE is a member of the Redheap Society of Model and Experimental Engineers. His 5-inch gauge compound 2-10-10-2 freelance Mallet is often seen at AALS conventions. He is a Chartered Engineer, a Member of the Institute of Pyrotechnic Engineers, has a Ph.D. in metallurgy from the University of Addis Ababa, and by profession is an international arms dealer.
If you want to be consulted after the final editing of your article, please say so on the draft that you send us. Otherwise we will only consult you if the meaning of something in your article is unclear, or if we would like you to expand on an idea.
