This thread started as a rant about getting my illustrated story submitted.
For anybody who's having problems with submitting Illustrated stories, I've now learned that the simplest thing to do is this:
1. Write your story in MS Word, inserting pictures where they belong.
2. IMPORTANT: Limit your formatting to Lit-supported stuff: I know that the following work fine, but there may be others:
* Bold
* Italic
* Horizontal Line (gets translated to HR markup)
3. Ensure the total file size is less than ~2Mb (compress the images if necessary)
4. JPG images (the safest format) should NOT have metadata or Copyright Info embedded in them.
5. Upload the doc file and be patient -- If it's taken more than 4 weeks for the story to be posted/sent back, it may be the case that the file is not visible to Lit approvers, in which case ping Laurel (but as I said, be patient and allow 4 weeks)
