   We’re always in need of good writers, photographers, illustrators, and so forth. But we can be kind of picky about who we end up working with/what articles we accept, so keep that in mind when contacting us.
   We accept unsolicited submissions/story pitches for any section, short fiction pieces, and, on occasion, we will take on new columnists. Please refer to our submissions page first before emailing us.

ADVERTISING

1. Q: Where can I get ad info?
   Refer to our media kit or email us at ads [at] fm-mag.com.
2. Q: What is your circulation?
   We print 5,000 copies every other month with a readership of about 10,000–15,000.
3. Q: How is it that your readership bigger than the number of magazines that you print?
   Well, smarty-pants, our readership is an estimate based on the fact that the mag is distributed at many “waiting room” type locations: salons, bars, restaurants, and so forth. Places where one issue will get passed around and read by many. Also, a lot of the magazines end up on people’s coffee tables and in bathrooms—you know, as reading material—which usually means that each issue gets looked at by more than one set of eyes.
4. Q: How did you get [insert fancy company here] to advertise?
   We asked them very nicely.
5. Q: I want to help you sell ads for a commission.
   That’s fantastic news! Email us at ads [at] fm-mag.com
