কি ভাবে লেখা পাঠানো যাবে এবং লেখা প্রকাশ-সংক্রান্ত কয়েকটি নিয়ম
(১) লেখা, ছবি অপ্রকাশিত (এর মধ্যে আন্তর্জাল [পত্রিকা, ব্লগ, ফেসবুক ইত্যাদিও ধরতে হবে]) ও মৌলিক হওয়া চাই।
(২) ই-মেইল ঠিকানাঃ parabaas@parabaas.com
(৩) লেখার মধ্যেই আপনার ই-মেইল ঠিকানা, সাধারণ ডাক-ঠিকানা, ফোন নম্বর দেবেন - তাহলে লেখকের সঙ্গে যোগাযোগ করতে সুবিধা হয়।
(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।

(৭) পরবাসে প্রকাশিত লেখা আন্তর্জাল ও অন্য বৈদ্যুতিন মাধ্যমে প্রকাশ করা যাবে না। পরবাসের পাতার লিংক দেয়া যাবে। পরবাসে প্রকাশের ১২০ দিন পরে অন্য কাগুজে মাধ্যমে প্রকাশিত হতে পারে কিন্তু সেখানে পরবাসে পূর্ব-প্রকাশনের উল্লেখ রাখা বাঞ্ছনীয় এবং সঙ্গত।
(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।
