Thank you for thinking about writing for 52 Things!

This page explains how to make a submission.

The deadline for submissions is 30 June 2017.
Read the author instructions.
Look at some existing chapters to see the style and follow it as closely as you can.
Chapters should be about 600 words. A figure or two is OK, and code is more than welcome.
Fork this repo and add your chapter, preferably in markdown.
If you prefer, email it to me.
If you know about some openly licensed (preferably CC-BY) content that would work, please submit that, or just let me know.
Add your bio to bios, your B&W hi-res headshot to headshots, and any figures to figures like figures/yourname_fig1.png.
Mark code in your chapter by indenting with 4 spaces.
Add a row to the table in README.md.
Make a pull request back to this repo.

A word about figures

Usually there's only room for 1 or 2 figures.
The book is black and white, please consider this when making figures.
Figures are reproduced full-width on the page, so aim for 'landscape' orientation. Put smaller or squarer figures side-by side (see below).
Please provide an SVG or PDF if you can.
If you provide a raster, PNG is better than JPG
If you provide a raster, please make it very large: at least 4000 pixels across.
If you provide a raster, please provide the 'raw' image with no annotation as well as a 'complete' figure with the annotation. I usually end up redrawing figures with the book's fonts etc, and this is easier with a blank slate.
