Sketchbook must be the original work of the
submitting author/artist. The work must be unpublished and
not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Published
material includes items that appear in print Journals, in
public on-line forums, on personal web pages where
individuals can access the pages, online photo albums, and

materials, especially in conjunction with the publication of
new unpublished works; such publication is subject to the
approval of an editor.
