For those of you who have subscribed to Rumcar News for any length of time will know when to expect the magazines to hit your door mats or computer in boxes. But for new readers, of which we have a few, Rumcar News id published 4 times a year and our target dates for the magazines to arrive with subscribers are
Spring =15 March,
Summer = 15 June,
Autumn = 15 September and
Winter = 15 December
For those of you who will or want to send in anything for inclusion in the magazine the editorial deadline is one month earlier
15 February
15 May
15 August and
15 November
In the 4 weeks between the editorial deadline and the arrival at your door ,we have to set all the articles into the magazine, send back copies to each of the contributers (13-14) for comments, attend to the comments, write any additional material to fill any spaces that may arrise. Send the document off for proof checking, attend to the comments returned from the proof checker, send the final copy to the printer. Collect the printed magazines, stuff them into envelopes and add the address lables and get them to the post office so they can spend a few days in transit before they reach you,
This 11 or 12 stage process takes between one and three days per stage, so it is a race to get it all done in 28 days.
