advertising decisions. All editorial decisions are based
on relevance and interest to the reader - submission of

Fly Magazine maintains strict editorial deadlines
in order to maintain an effective and efficient editorial
department. To increase your chances for editorial coverage,

Calendars and Listings
As a service to the readers, Fly Magazine publishes
event calendars and directories, such as the dining directory,
at no charge. Information included in calendars and listings
must come from host establishments and must meet certain
other criteria. To include your events and/or establishment,

The Cover
Fly Magazine's cover subject is selected by the
editors. The decision is based on several factors including
the strongest, most interesting feature and the best photographs.
The cover, like all editorial is not available for purchase
and or influenced by advertising in any way. |

One employee from an area bar or restaurant is featured
each month. Fly Magazine's Employee of the Month
is selected based on nominations from readers. |
