BOUND INSERTS AND MULTI-PAGE ADS

Multiple full-page ad rates are as follows:

• $500 for the first page
• $400 each additional page

The percentage discount for multiple insertions will then be applied to this total - 15% for 2 insertions, 20% for 3 and 25% for 4. Booklet inserts may be run bound in the magazine for the same price. Additional discounts are available if material to be bound is preprinted by the advertiser and sent ready to bind. Call for details.

• A hard copy of the completed ad
• All fonts and graphics on a ZIP, CD-R, or floppy
• Both the printer and screen part for each font
• Postscript type 1 fonts only - no true-type
• All artwork and photographs saved in EPS, TIFF or BMP formats @ 300dpi; TIFFs preferred
• Include any fonts used in an EPS or file may be unusable
• Make sure everything is linked properly and TIFFs are not compressed
• Remove all unnecessary FPOs and files

We can accept your ad on the following media. Please do not send any media not listed here:

• CD-R or CD-RW
• Iomega Zip 100MB , 250MB, or 500MB
• PC floppy, if ad material will fit uncompressed
• Email Attachment (zipped, no larger than 5 MB per attachment).

Traditional Mechanicals: Ads should be clear, black-and-white or greyscale only, except for pre-printed inserts. Screened, unmounted Veloxes/PMTs, camera-ready mechanicals or repro proofs are acceptable. Line screen size is 85 for paper, 100 for film. Film should be emulsion-side up, right read. Always include a proof.

The multiple-issue discount requires payment in advance for all insertions and this payment must be received with the first ad placed. Insertions do not need to be consecutive or identical to receive the multiple-issue discount.

COMMISSION

Ads from ad agencies are accepted by the SFWA Bulletin on behalf of individual advertisers -- however, the SFWA Bulletin does not grant commissions to ad agencies. The advertiser assumes responsibility for payment of ads placed on its behalf if for any reason the agency placing the ad fails to pay the SFWA Bulletin.

ACCEPTABILITY

The SFWA Bulletin reserves the right to reject any advertisement which does not meet the editorial standards of the magazine or which appears to be deceptive, fraudulent, misleading, offensive or unethical. The advertiser assumes all responsibility for any claims against the magazine as a result of its ad. All ads are subject to review by the editor and his decision on acceptability is final.

Insertion orders, ad copy and payment should be sent to:
