Guidelines for Submissions to NMPCA Slip Trail and eNews


NMPCA publishes a quarterly newsletter with interesting and wide-ranging articles about the ceramic arts in New Mexico and interests of the membership.   Slip Trail submission guidelines and schedule are show below left.

Also, we have a lively email exchange where members can share notices of interest to other members.  We accept notices of interest to the members from others in the community.  The guidelines at right show how to prepare and send messages to the email coordinator. 

Members:  You can see past issues of the eNews and Slip Trail in the members area when you are logged in.

    Guidelines for e-News:

    Items about the ceramic arts or NMPCA membership activities can be included in eNews.  eNews is generally published on Tuesday and Thursday or on as as-needed basis.  In order to insure timely sending of your message, please follow these simple guidelines:

    Send your message via email to the eNews editor, enews@nmpotters.org, at least 2 days before the required publication date.

    1. Format your message as text in the email message.  Please be sure to include your name, location and contact information.  Format your message the way it should be sent to the members.  Do not put the content of your message in an attached word document, pdf file, or image file.  The content must be text in the email message body.  If your message is very long, it would be better to publish the information on a website and make a shorter message with highlights and a link to the published information.

    2. Images can make your message more interesting to the recipients.  One or two small images can be included in the message.  They should be no larger than 200k bytes each.

    3. We cannot have attachments to email messages.  If you want the recipients to have access to a document, such as a show application, provide a link in your message text where they can click to pick up the document on your website.  (If you do not have a website and need to provide an expanded document to the members, you can create the document as a pdf file and communicate with Lesley in advance about the possibility of our hosting the document on the NMPCA membership website.)
