Advertise in ‘The Pulpster’

The Pulpster accepts advertising to help defray the cost of printing.

Advertising is sold on a first-come, first-served basis, with payment expected immediately upon reserving a space. Please realize that the cover spaces sell very quickly. Deadline for reserving advertising space is May 15 each year. Final print-ready ads are due by June 1.

If you’d like to reserve advertising space in the next number of The Pulpster, or inquire about rates, please contact publisher Mike Chomko.

Advertising space is available in units of full, half, and quarter pages. Inside front cover, inside back cover, and back cover are full-page only. Specific information (with links to PDF templates) is below. (Templates have changed due to new printer requirements as of 2024.)
