Some Clarification about Mailing Copies Out of the U.S. and mailing to Contributors Who Do Not Inform Us of Address Changes.
If you cannot attend the release party in September, you will receive a contributor copy by mail.
If you live outside of the country, you will have to pay the cost of mailing according to the U.S. Post Office. If you wish, we can send you an electronic version of the magazine. If you want to order additional copies at $15.00 each, plus the $5.00 mailing costs, you can send a check to I-70 Review, Tina Hacker, Operations Manager, 11905 Wenonga Lane, Leawood, KS 66209 or order through PayPal on our "Order a Copy" web page. Should your mailing address change before September, please inform us of that change so that we are able to mail your copy to the correct address. If we mail your copy to the wrong address because you have not informed us in time, you will have to pay the postage and a reduced cost of the magazine for us to send another contributor copy.
