Editorial Policy

All items for publication are subject to editing except those ordered to be printed by the AMC or local Board, the time and date of calendar entries, and those articles designated “print as is or not at all.” Editing will consist of correcting spelling and grammar, modifying for space, appropriateness and clarity, and determining if the material is in good taste.

Any submission that is edited will not have the general meaning changed unless approved by the author. If, after negotiation, the editor and the author do not both approve the text, the submission will not be published.

Calendar items must have contact information for a current Mensa member, generally one residing in the local area.

Newsletter submission deadlines will be published in the calendar, generally the 15th of each month. Publication to the printer may be immediately thereafter, so that receipt on or near the deadline day guarantees publication only for machine-readable items that need very little editing or none at all.
