New adverts can either:

• be supplied in ‘print ready’ format, either as a Word document or a high resolution (300 dpi) jpeg or pdf file of the required size. When supplying a pdf file all fonts should be converted to outline. Please note that experience has shown that a scanned file/image is not of high enough quality to meet our print requirement, or

• we can produce a basic two colour, text only, boxed advert up to ¼ page from text provided at no charge, or

• advertisers can use the services of the magazine’s professional designer using text/ideas/images/logos provided for a one-off cost based on the work required.

The 2023/24 advertising deadlines for ‘print ready artwork’ are as below:

• Monday 26 June 2023 for the August/September issue

• Friday 1 September 2023 for the October/November issue

• Wednesday 1 November 2023 for the December/January issue

• Tuesday 2 January 2024 for the February/March issue
