Caption Sheets for Submissions to Publisher When a submitting to a publisher, and they ask for a caption sheet with the thumbnails, what are they looking for? Are they looking for naming the photos or more?

You can get some idea what they want by examining their books or magazines and reading the captions that accompany published photos. Keep in mind that good writing skills will help to get your submissions noticed.

Captions are fairly simple. The first sentence should be an statement of what is happening in the picture. If possible get the WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE AND WHY. Any follow on sentences would be clarifying statements. Example: Joey Doey dances through the water fountain in Pittsburgh's Point State Park. These jovial festivities were part of the cities annual Three Rivers Regatta. if you get "The Associated Press Style Book" or the "Photographer's Market" you will have a great reference for material like this.

The example above is good, but most publishers want a date such as Monday June 5 2004, along with an exact location like Pittsburgh's Point State Park in Pittsburgh, PA
