5. Ad Preparation Tips
Bleed ads: Keep "live"
elements (text, logos, etc.) at least 1/4" from trim edge
of each page.
Two-page spreads: Keep "live" elements 1/4" from
each side of center gutter, i.e., crossover headlines.
Use a two-color black (C40, K100) for large, flat black areas (backgrounds,
large type, etc.).
Screen-build colors - do not exceed 290% max. density (total of
all CMYK percentages).
Borders required on all fractional ads. No coupons, hyphens or
broken borders.
Choose ink densities for SPEKTA print process which produces very
clean lights.

Editorial Submission
Guidelines
Queries: Most
articles in Durango Magazine are assigned to freelance contributers,
usually in January for the Summer/Fall issue and in August for the Winter/Spring
issue. We welcome queries or manuscripts and will review them promptly.
Please enclose a SASE if you want your manuscript returned. Our preferred
method of communication is via e-mail to durangomagazine@bresnan.net,
attention: Editor.
Articles: Length
of articles range from 150 word shorts to 2,000 word features. Payment
is within 30 days of publication at the rate of 40 cents a word for our
established writers. Writers working with us for the first time are asked
to submit their finished manuscript on speculation. We buy first North
American rights only, with all rights returned after publication. Previously-published
materials are okay if the other publication is non-competing.
Kill Fees: For
assigned stories, we will make every effort to publish the article in
a future issue. A kill fee of 20¢ per word will be paid if the story
cannot be used within two issues after the issue for which the story was
assigned. All rights revert back to the writer.
Photos: We
always appreciate images to accompany your story. Let us know if any are
available and request our Photo Submission Guidelines if you are
interested in submitting photos.
Style: We
use AP Stylebook as a guide to editing manuscripts. Use minimum punctuation
and the downstyle of capitalization--lowercasing the first letter of words
when there is a choice. In general, write out numbers up to ten, then
use figures for all others. Please don't abbreviate and please be prepared
to rewrite if needed. We reserve the right to cut, condense and edit all
manuscripts submitted.
Manuscripts:
Please send your story e-mail with a wide, three-inch, left-hand margin
on each page. Include your name, address, phone number and e-mail address
at the top of the first page. Do write a title for your piece and include
a short biography for publication at the end of your published article.
