Production Schedule

* This date represents the final day reservations will be accepted. To preserve the integrity of the publication we maintain a set content-to-advertising ratio, thus advertising space is finite in each issue. Therefore, requests made on or before this date are not guaranteed space. We strongly recommended making reservations 6-12 months in advance.

Please note: Virginia Magazine is no longer able to offer in-house ad design for clients for whom we have not previously designed. If you need assistance in finding a designer for your ad, we are more than happy to offer suggestions.
