General: Our business would be simpler if we could just announce that our deadline is something like the 15th of each month.
However, we run on a monthly cycle in a world that operates on a weekly cycle, and so the deadlines change each month.
We try to arrange matters so that the magazine is mailed on the next-to-the-last Tuesday of the preceding month. For example, the February edition would be mailed on the next-to-last Tuesday of January.
This determines our editorial and advertising deadlines for a given edition, which will thus vary from month to month. However, the 5th of the prior month (i.e., March 5 for the April edition) is always in time for submissions or advertisements.
The April 2008, edition was mailed on Tuesday, March 18, 2008, and was on local newsracks by Tuesday, March 25, 2008.
Our schedule (always subject to change, of course) for the next 12 months:
