Our general advertising rates and ad sizes are the following:

We can also put two half size ads on the inside back cover, but only if there is no full ad.
Publisher’s Prerogative
We reserve the right to refuse any advertisement that we deem not appropriate for our publication. Ads will be scaled to fit the page.
Payment
All ads must be paid in full when submitted. Please email our Advertising Director before paying to make sure we are not full on that size. Ads sell quickly and we’d hate to turn you away for an issue after you’ve already paid.
You may pay with Paypal below (you don’t have to be registered with Paypal to make a payment through it).
Again, if you are specifying placement on the inside front, inside back or outside back covers, please check with the Advertising Director to make sure it hasn’t already been reserved.
You can also pay by snail mail; in that case make your check payable to A.D.F., write Oak Leaves Ad in the memo section, and mail it to:
Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship, Inc.
1147 Brook Forest Ave #355,
Shorewood, IL 60404
USA
Images should be sent to the Advertising Director at adf-ol-ads
adf.org and images should be able to be opened in Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop. Also, send separate files of images in case scaling down doesn’t work.
Ad Formats
Alternately, text and associated graphics may be submitted, but in this case, layout of the ad will be up to the Advertising Coordinator and Editor. All ads should be in .JPG, .PSD, or .DOC format.
All decisions will be up to the Oak Leaves Staff. If you have questions, please contact our Advertising Director.
