SHPC Publications and their Deadlines

Changes to schedule below

There are no variances at this time.

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 8.5x7 'faces' (pages). Preferred size, however, is 4 'faces.' (Want to submit an article?)

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?)
