Rough Draft Advertising Rates
Do you have a technical communication-related service or business you would like to publicize on the Web? Would you like potential customers outside the Valley of the Sun to learn about you and your services online, for a reasonable price?
Now you can have what you want. The Rough Draft accepts advertisements you can run in both individual and multiple newsletter issues. Ads will appear at the bottom of all Rough Draft pages containing feature articles.
