This depends on the aspect ratio of the image. Please just supply to fit whole 210x210mm area (5mm all around will be trimmed) and I'll fit as required.

Again - don't work in pixels. You are not producing an image for screen presentation. Supply it with a print document dimension of 210x210mm at 300dpi.

Just make sure you mention that you'd absolutely insist on maintaining your aspect ratio in your included text file. Generally I'll be working to this anyhow - after all, I image too!

Just mention it in the text. Maybe also provide a second low-resolution version of your image wih your preferred crop area indicated.
