SHPC Publications and their Deadlines

Changes to schedule below

• For Sunday 17 March (announcements): TUES 5 MAR

As is customary, the editor reserves the right to make changes to submitted articles for space limitations, clarity, etc.

What are our publications and communication venues?

Announcements || Narthex displays || Newsletter || “Sunday screens” || Website

Announcements

Published: Weekly, on Sunday

Contents: Small news items, short lead times. Items run for two consecutive weeks unless otherwise suggested. Items do not run more than twice – eye fatigue sets in and the item becomes ‘invisible.’

Format: Print, with electronic equivalent

Deadline: Tuesday night. Publication put to bed Wednesday noon.

Publication size limit is 8 8.5×7 ‘faces’ (pages). Preferred size, however, is 4 ‘faces.’ (Want to submit an article?)

Newsletter

Published: Monthly.

Contents: Informational articles, longer lead times (say, 3 months or less). Items run once.

Deadline: Third Sunday of the PREVIOUS month at midnight. Publication put to bed as soon as possible the following week, generally that Friday.

Format: Print, with electronic equivalent

Publication size limit is about 20 pp. Much over that will remove us from our current non-profit postage bracket. (Want to submit an article?)

Website

Published: Whenever. Often Thursdays.

Contents: Articles can run as long as they are current.

Deadline: No regular publication schedule. Updates are posted as time permits. (Want to submit an article?)
