Guidelines for Creating an Editorial
- Each magazine is more productive with an editor. The editor takes responsibility for gathering and formatting information, then submits it before deadline.
- Editorial content is due by the 15th of the month preceding publication. If you are unable to make deadline for any reason - please call to let us know. In the absence of your editorial content, we will provide generic content.
- Content should be single sided, black and white (grayscale), on white, letter-sized paper. Any color images or type will be converted to grayscale.
- Photographs may be submitted with content and placed by our art department. Photos cannot be returned.
| We have recently upgraded our equipment, resulting in higher quality printing for your newsletter. We encourage you to submit your editorials electronically to ensure the best possible magazine for your park. |
Electronic Submissions
- Electronic submissions should be in PDF format.
- Electronic submissions should be a single, multi-page document, not individual documents for each page.
- If your PDF exceeds 8MB, please compress it in a Zip file. Our server will not take files over 8MB.
- Please include your park name and the month in your file name, e.g. "friendlyvillage-may08.pdf"
Converting to PDF
A PDF (Portable Document Format) is a very popular type of file that can be shared, viewed, and printed by anyone with free Adobe Reader® software. By converting your editorial to a PDF, you ensure that all of your fonts, images and layouts will appear the same in our machines as they do on yours.
There are many, free PDF converting tools available online or as downloads, such as these three:
You can purchase Adobe Acrobat in your local computer store or purchase it online (around $200). You can also use low-cost alternative to PDF: FinePrint pdfFactory ($50).
