CQ Deadline @ SFI.org
Feb 25 all-day

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone’s getting through the winter OK, and no one gets the nasty
stomach plague I picked up at the office last week. Despite spending a few
days in Sickbay, production for CQ #163 is on-track. Thanks to everyone who
submitted.

The deadline for CQ #164, the April/May issue, will be February 25. Why so
early? Well, I’m hoping to get the issue finished and uploaded to the
DB/sent to the printer by April 1. This will begin to get the delivery of
the issues more in-line with the cover dates.

Of course, none of that would be possible without my fabulous staff… copy
editors James Cecil (USS Commonwealth, R1), Mary Kane (USS Hornet, R1),
Maureen Wilkinson (USS Corsair, R3), Gary Hollifield (USS Jaresh-Inyo), and
of course, my boss PJ Trotter.

Also big thanks to Jon Lane for continuing to deliver the last bits and
pieces I don’t discover I need until I start laying out a page.

Want to help out with CQ production? I’m always looking for copy editors,
and I could use someone with Photoshop experience to take on formatting
photos for me. If you’re interested, shoot me an email with your relevant
experience (Fleet, professional, or otherwise). Be willing to work to hard
deadlines, especially on a quick turn-around.

And remember… the deadline for CQ #164 is February 25! Upcoming dates
should be the 25th of the even months, but they’ll always be posted on
cq.sfi.org and in the issues of the CQ. And you’ll want to surf over to
cq.sfi.org before submitting to check out the new submission guidelines!
(Which should all be posted by the end of the week.)

Please submit ALL articles/photos/etc to cq@sfi.org. You should receive an
automatic receipt letting you know that we’ve received your article.
Questions, comments, and other correspondence for me should be sent to
comms-cq@sfi.org or trekkieturtle@gmail.com.
