(৪) কবিতা পাঠালে এক সঙ্গে অন্তত তিনটি কবিতা পাঠালে ভালো হয়।
(৫) ইউনিকোড হরফে এখন পরবাস প্রকাশিত হচ্ছে - সেই মাধ্যমে লেখা পেলে আমাদের সুবিধা হয়, কিন্তু অন্য মাধ্যমে, যথা "বাংলিশ", অন্য ফন্ট-এ, বা হাতে লেখা হলেও চলবে। সাধারণ ডাক-এ পাঠালে অবশ্যই কপি রেখে পাঠাবেন, কারণ লেখা/ছবি ফেরত পাঠানো সম্ভব নয়।

(৮) লেখক এই নিয়মগুলি মান্য করছেন বলে গণ্য করা হবে। এর কোনোরকম পরিবর্তন চাইলে অবশ্যই আমাদের সঙ্গে যোগাযোগ করবেন।

সাধারণ ডাকযোগে লেখা, ছবি, বই ইত্যাদি পাঠানোর ঠিকানার জন্যে ই-মেইলে parabaas@parabaas.com অথবা ফোন-এ (+91)8609169717-এ যোগাযোগ করুন। আমরা আপ্রাণ চেষ্টা করি সব লেখার লেখকদের উত্তর দেবার, কিন্তু অনেক সময় অনিবার্য কারণবশতঃ তা সম্ভব না হতেও পারে। সেই জন্য লেখা পাঠানোর ৬ মাসের মধ্যে উত্তর না পেলে ধরে নিতে হবে যে লেখাটি মনোনীত হয়নি। আপনাদের সবাইকে অনুরোধ করছি আপনাদের সৃষ্টিশীল রচনা পাঠাতে, এবং সে-জন্য আগাম ধন্যবাদ।
