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.

Rates subject to change without notice.
A written reservation guarantees the rate for the issue(s) reserved.
If a multiple insertion is requested, full payment for the full order guarantees the rate.

MULTIPLE FULL-PAGE DISCOUNT

First Full-Page = $500

All subsequent Full-Pages = $400

The percentage discount for multiple insertions will then be applied to this total - 15% for 2 insertions, 20% for 3 and 25% for 4.

BOUND INSERTS

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.

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 or her decision on acceptability is final.
