HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR LISTING

By email or disk

Send your cheque in the mail straight away. Your ad will not be listed until it arrives.
Use ordinary TEXT in your email. DO NOT SEND ATTACHMENTS unless they are gifs. Please provide a contact phone or email address in case we need to query something. If we can't check unclear details with you we might not list your ad.

Include a note confirming the spelling of unusual words or names.

By snail mail

Follow the instructions as per "By email" above, but send a copy of your ad and any notes to Hovea Music Press at the address above, with your cheque or money order enclosed. Also include any flyers you have about the event. A $4.95 handling surcharge applies to each listing submitted this way (handwritten or printed hardcopy).

EXAMPLE

To clearly distinguish between the information to be listed and private material which is not to be listed, place the public information between two lines of EQUAL signs, thus:
