Quick and Dirty Instructions for the New ACM Typesetting Format—Acmart Class∗ Quick and Dirty Instructions for the New ACM Typesetting Format—acmart Class∗ Rasit Eskicioglu “Retired” Publication Chair for SenSys and BuildSys and aliated Workshops September 2018 Preamble Since April 2017, ACM has adopted a unied format (acmart.cls) for its publications. The newcomers to the com- munities should have no problem using it, as it will be just the right template to use. This new format has several important changes that might confuse particularly seasoned members of the Sensys and Buildsys communities and of their aliated workshops, who have been accustomed to the old (slightly modied) sig-alternate.cls style. One such change is that all ACM conference proceedings are now using 9pt fonts for the main text. This new style uses several packages and free fonts (Linbiolinum and LibLiberte), which are available in all major TEX distri- butions (TEXLive, MikTEX, MacTEX) 2015 and later. If you have older distributions, your documents will not have proper fonts. Important Rules 1. The preferred format is LATEX. If you are not an avid LATEX user, you can use the new Word format, but make sure to read the User Guide (1) carefully, and install the new Linbiolinum and LinLiberte fonts that comes with the package. 2. Read the User Guide (1). Read it again, especially if you were using the old style. 3. Do not change anything in the acmart.cls le. 4. Do not change any length, such as \textlength, \textheight, or any margin in the body of your paper. 5. Look at the sample-sigconf.tex and create your own with all the relevant information and include the body of your manuscript at the end. 6. The ACM-Reference-format block provides proper and full citation information of your manuscript (if pub- lished) and it is required for all manuscripts (regular or short papers, as well as demo and poster abstracts). Do not set printacmref to false to disable it to save space, because you will be asked to include it for your Camera Ready manuscript. 7. ACM now uses CCS Categories (replacing Terms) block in all publications. This block, as well as Keywords are required for all short or regular papers (not needed for demo or poster abstracts). Please provide proper content for them (see the User Guide for details). Top Matter The details are on pages 8–9 of the User Guide (1), but please note that ACM discourages the use of “merged” authors block, such as shown below: ∗Please note that the examples and some content in this document reect the recent SenSys 2018 and SenSys and BuildSys communities, the suggestions are also applicable to the ACM editions (odd years) of the CPS-IoT Week Conferences, particularly the ISPN. 1 SIG Proceedings Paper in LaTeX Format∗ SIG Proceedings Paper inExtended LaTeX Abstract Format—This† is a Very Long ∗ TitleBen That Trovato will G.K.M. not Tobin Fit Lars in ThørväldOne Line Institute for Clarity in Documentation, P.O.

  • The NWU Literary Agent Agreement” 6/19/08 10:57 PM
    Loading “The NWU Literary Agent Agreement” 6/19/08 10:57 PM The NWU Literary Agent Agreement (Confidential: For NWU members only) Understanding the Author-Agent Relationship A Guide to the NWU Preferred Literary Agent Agreement Introduction This guide is an educational tool for authors who are considering entering into a relationship with a literary agent, or who need help in understanding an existing author- agent agreement. It should be read in conjunction with the National Writers Union Preferred Literary Agent Agreement and used to evaluate or improve any agent agreement you may be asked to sign. Both documents are available to National Writers Union (NWU) members. Deciding to retain an agent is a major decision in any author\'s career. An agent will agree to represent your work because she believes she can sell it to a publisher or publishers. The agent is your representative, whom you hire to market your work, to negotiate your publishing contracts, and to oversee your royalty accounts. In exchange for an agent\'s representation, an author agrees to pay the agent a commission; a commission is a percentage of all income earned from those rights that the agent is able to license. Every author\'s work includes a bundle of individual rights that may be exploited: e.g., hardcover print rights; paperback print rights; electronic database rights; interactive software rights; foreign translation rights; television adaptation rights; audio cassette rights, and so forth. In addition, as new forms of media are created, new rights (e.g., CD-ROM rights) emerge and become valuable. Collectively, these individual rights form the copyright to one\'s work.

  • Beacon 7. How to Form a Publishing Company/Imprint
    Beacon #7 How to form a publishing company/imprint For many authors, self-publishing is a hobby or “test the waters” endeavor – but when it becomes a business, it needs to be set up and run like a business. In most U.S. states, it’s neither difficult nor expensive to form a publishing company and imprint. A publishing imprint is simply the trade name under which a publishing company releases its books. For example, Harper Collins publishes books using more than a dozen different imprints (including Amistad, Avon Books, Ecco Press, Harper, William Morrow, and Zondervan) in order to build unique brand identities within various genres and market sectors. As a self-publishing author, you would most likely establish only one imprint (at least initially). Forming your own publishing company and imprint can be a relatively simple process if you establish the business as a “sole proprietorship.” This beacon will explain the six basic steps you’ll need to take to form your own publishing company and imprint (which can often be done within a couple of hours). First, however, it’s important to understand what a sole proprietorship is, and why it is generally recommended for authors who are self-publishing for the first time. The Sole Proprietorship A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated entity owned by one person (hence, the term “sole”). It is the most common form of business ownership in the U.S. The key feature of this structure is that the law makes no distinction between the sole proprietor (the owner of the business) and the business itself.
