got my first newsrevue-Treason double with the Jordon/press sketch. Thank you Jordon for being a real life comedy character

Call me thick (and yes I know what's coming) but I'm a bit confused by the guidelines on the Treason site.

It says...

Send each item separately in WORD format.
Name of each sketch/song in the e-mail subject field with a copy pasted in the body of e-mail. This is so we can correctly file and edit your material and print efficiently.

So, does this mean that the name of the sketch/song is pasted into the body of the email or the whole sketch? If the latter, it makes a complete mess of (my) Word format.

I was presuming you'd attach the sketch in a separate Word doc, but someone told me never to presume anything once so...

I attach one sketch or one liner an email with my name and title of sketch in subject line - so if you want to send 5 sketches that would be 5 separate emails. I don't write anything in the body of the email

I used to paste a copy of the sketch in the body.

Aparently mark finds it easier to read them on his mobi that way.

So, er, either then.

Thanks chaps.

I just put the title of the sketch in the subject and attach the sketch itself in a word document with the e-mail.

They've not complained so far...

Oh I've used the Sootyj technique.

Just another excuse (or person to blame).

Thanks.

I should mention I do attach a word version as well

Ah. So really I've just used my own technique now.

If it helps...

I put the name of the sketch in the subject field.

I attach the Word doc containing the sketch.

I type a brief note -- "Hi Mark an Gary, (he's the script editor) here's as sketch about blah-de-blah-de-blah." (OPTIONAL)

After the brief note, I copy and paste the text of the sketch.

Think I'll start pasting sketch into body of email too - never considered it before

Just to add my agreement with Mikey, Sootyj et al.

1. I paste the sketch in the email (with a businesslike greeting)
2. and attach the same sketch as Word document. (Sometimes I accidentally attach the wrong one but don't do that...)

Job done.

I'm sure Mark used to specifically request the paste-in-email bit in the submission blurb on his website. Might have changed now.

For those interested here's the writers' list for March's Treason Show.
Don't know what happened to the January show one but as I didn't send anything in know I definitely haven't got a credit in it!
