  • Change happens. As always this calendar serves as a guideline and is subject to change when external conditions change.(How like life!) However normally our e-zine changes weekly so the editorial deadlines match our internal posting schedule but generally are 30 days prior to the beginning of the month for the topics scheduled. For example anything to be featured in December 2012 needs to be submitted on or before November 1, 2012.
