print-ready copy is not necessary; we will design your ad!
Our next Advertising Deadline is April 15, 2023.
You do not have to supply a camera-ready ad. We will design your ad and return a proof copy to approve. Our Ad Rates are based on a press run of 20,000 copies. If our advertisers request it, we will reprint MLC during the summer crab season.
View our advertising rates below and feel free to contact us with any questions!
If you would prefer to design your own ad, please review our mechanical requirements at the bottom of this page.
