The Rake Magazine

Press releases, materials you'd like us to consider reviewing, and calendar information:

Our preferred method for receiving calendar information is via email. Please send emails to pressrelease [at] rakemag.com. Please send in text or html format, as these are the easiest for us to transfer to our online calendar. Please do not send pdfs or other images which contain the text of your announcement, as these formats make it less likely that we will retype the information into our format. Please do not send Microsoft Word files. Please cut and paste the text of your word document directly into the body of your email.

If you wish to include an image which illustrates your event, you may do so if it is a small (around 10K file size, and less than 300 pixels wide) jpeg or gif. There is no guarantee the image will be used.

Please note: Calendar items sent by any method other than email will probably not make our event calendar. Please use email only for calendar items.

Please do not call to confirm receipt of your calendar item. The volume we receive makes it impossible to respond to submissions. If you are unsure if your item was received, please send it again.

Items other than calendar items, and items that don't fit into email, may be sent to:

News
The Rake
1500 Jackson St. NE, Suite 435  
Minneapolis, MN 55413

Please remember that we receive a huge volume of press release, and that your best chance of spurring us to do a story you suggest is to be intimately familiar with the sorts of stories we do. Our best advice to you is to read the magazine and pitch us stories that at least vaguely resemble other stories we do.

If you are a writer pitching a story, please see our Writer's Guidelines.

Please do not fax press releases or calendar information.
