The Glia SocietyThe journal "Thoth" |
The journal "Thoth" is members-only and appears bimonthly in digital form (P.D.F.). It guarantees absolute freedom of speech and has no editorial changes or censorship of any kind. Thoth is filled with members' submissions, and occasionally contains material by others.
Thoth currently has a variable number of pages, the effective size (excluding margins) of a page being 122 by 185 millimetre. The P.D.F. file shows one page at a time, and text is principally presented in one 122 mm column, so that no horizontal scrolling or scrolling back and forth from column to column, which bad editors so thoroughly enjoy, are needed. Images are frequently included.
Thoth is named after the Egyptian moon god, who weighed the hearts of the deceased to determine if they would be admitted to the hereafter or, if the examination was failed, torn apart by a monster. Thoth is also the name used by the future Grail Society member.
Copy is mostly submitted in word processor files (OpenOffice.org Writer or MicroSoft Word [use .doc, not .docx]) with possible images inserted, although plain text or H.T.M.L. files are also very suitable. It is recommended to attach images separately as well, to avoid loss of quality in processing them.
It is possible to submit copy even if one is not a member but has material one thinks is of interest to the Glia Society members. Copy should be sent to the Administrator. If it concerns commercial material that should be considered advertisement, a small fee may be charged.
If submitting copy, include a title and author name, both (title and author name) in the copy itself and not just in an accompanying note. Since no changes or additions are made to copy for Thoth, leaving out title or author name implies your copy is without title or anonymous. This is mentioned here so explicitly as experience shows that many authors do not realize it by themselves. If you wish to receive possible responses from readers to your copy, it is wise to include a contact address.
