Typo, I'm really sorry, but I don't have an answer. I have no experience with the graphics/layout/formatting end of publishing magazines.

I found this, and it might give you more of an idea to work with: [link]

I HATE not having answers! :(

Typo, I think any magazine would have its own staff who would do that. I work for an association that puts out a quarterly magazine; we've outsourced it to a publisher which takes care of layout, image editing, etc. When we were doing it in-house, the work was done by staff.

Compassionately intolerant

Even pick a dog from the audience and do a demonstration.

Inntterrresting. I could totally do a "kreskin' with an audience member.

I am going to do a raffle for email addresses...a free session.

How awful about Frankie getting bitten. Is he doing okay? Actually, I know the answer to that. How are YOU doing with it? Can you forgive and forget?

I guess the reason I asked about magazine, is that laying out the graphics and text in my second book is a lot like that. Another comparison is children's books. I hope to have the package ready to get quotes on in a matter of weeks now.

Per page, laying out a newsletter isn't particularly different from laying out a magazine.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

bonny, I'm telling all my dog owner friends because apparently this is not the first time this dog has attacked another, and I don't want anyone else to get hurt. I'd really like the owner to pay for my vet bills, but am absolutely not counting on it. Otherwise, pretty much over it. Sucks that some people are irresponsible dog owners.

So newsletter prices will give ma a fair idea? Because book layout prices are cheaper, but if the amount of work is comparable to a newsletter rather than a typical book, then it seems like that is the range I should expect to be charged in. I mean labor is what a contractor sells.

Aren't most newsletters black & white? Does color make a difference?

These days, not much. The more pages something has, the less per page it should be, because the thing that takes the most time is coming up with the basic concept.

Do you know how it's going to be printed and do you also want to offer an e-book?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Aren't most newsletters black & white?

Probably not, since color printing is pretty ubiquitous.

Does color make a difference?

In printing costs, yes.

heh ... I once spent a good deal of time explaining to someone that two-color printing did not mean two colors AND black, that if they wanted black it counted as a color.
