Whether editing is done for clarity, for uniformity, or to comply with space limitations, it would require an enormous expenditure of time and money to contact writers across the country for their comments on edited versions of manuscripts. In rare instances, where the meaning of a particular passage is unclear or where additional information is needed to complete a revised paragraph, an editor may call the author of an article. If heavy editing is required, we will rework the piece and return it to the author for approval before publishing it. However, in most cases, editors simply will use their best judgment, trying to preserve the writer's meaning and mood while making any necessary changes. At the current time, we send each author five complimentary copies of the issue in which his or her work appears.
Artists receive three issues.
Cover artists receive five. First-time authors and artists also receive a gift certificate that can be used toward MAH publications. The author retains the copyright. When an article is accepted for publication, the author must verify that our use of the material will not infringe on the copyright of any other organization or individual. All writers and artists published in our magazine are free to sell their work elsewhere.
