Instructions for Submission of Biographies

Anyone, member or not, may submit a biography of any woman in Nevada (either born and raised in Nevada, or who spent some of her life here) whom she/he deems to be of interest to Nevada's history. She need not be outstanding in politics, activism or professional work, as long as her life story would be interesting to other women. All races, nationalities, and ethnic backgrounds are sought in order to make our Web Site as complete as possible.

Please read the following requirements for submission:

1. All biographies must be typed. If the author doesn't type, she/he may ask a friend to type it for her/him or contact the Chairman of the Web Site Committee for assistance

2. All submissions should be in hard copy (typed copy) and on disk, either in Word, Word Perfect or some other IBM compatible program. If the author is not computer-friendly, she/he should contact the Chairman of the Web Site for assistance in putting the biography on disk. Copy should be in 10pt., 3 to 5 pages in length.

3. All biographies must be submitted to the Chair of the Web Site Committee.

4. All biographies will be edited.

A. If changes are minor, such as spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, etc., the editor will make such changes as necessary on both the hard copy and disk

B. If the changes are major, such as removing or rephrasing sentences and/or paragraphs the Editor will note such recommendations on the hard copy and return the copy and the disk to the author, who should make the recommended changes and re-submit to the Editor.
