I heard in the later years that Wayne required a certain format for
articles or columns and if the author did not follow the format, then
the article or column did not get published.

Nearly ALL periodicals and publishers have minimum standards on
manuscript format acceptible for consideration of publication.

Those same periodicals and publishers explain those in free
documents called "Writer's Guides."

The quasi-standard format for all written formats in North America
is letter size paper (8 1/2" x 11"), a minimum margin of 1" all sides,
double-spacing conventional type font with pitch about 10 characters
per inch, one side of the paper only.

Submission of a manuscript to a publisher is FAR from any guarantee
of acceptance whether it follows a publisher's format or not. Unless one
has a specific contract to submit work to a publisher, ALL manuscripts
must pass through a series of reviews at the publisher.

It is a given that NO technically oriented publication will accept crayon
on cardboard format manuscripts, handwritten or hand-printed text on
non-standard paper stock.

Anyone who wishes to submit an article for publication should first
contact a publisher's Editor by separate inquiry letter. Nearly every
publisher will return a Writer's Guide to the format used by a publisher.
Submissions are guaranteed absolutely nothing except some form of
consideration AT the publication.
