Q: What is the policy regarding copies and/or reproduction of articles?

A: 805 Living content may not be used or reproduced without the express written permission from the publisher.

PDF files for use on Web sites are available for a $50 fee per article. Please provide your request in writing, including the issue month and page number(s) of the article, along with your credit card type, number, expiration date, and name on card. Please also include your contact phone number and an e-mail address where we can send the pdf file. Please note that the file will either include the cover of the issue in which the article appeared (which must appear along with the article), or the addition of a flag that states "As seen in 805 Living." Please allow one week for delivery once your credit card is approved.

If a reprint of any article is desired, please put your request in writing and send to edit@805living.com. 805 Living will provide a written estimate. Reprints take approximately 3 weeks to produce once the estimate has been approved.

Q: If I run an ad, will you write a story about me or my business?

A: We do not write editorials based on advertising. Our sophisticated readers turn to 805 Living month after month because they know that the editorial is non-biased, and they trust that the content is not paid for by our advertisers. Ultimately, we are confident that our advertisers benefit from this policy since our loyal readers tell us time and time again that they read the magazine from "cover to cover"— including the ads.
