There are only two ways to contact Taddle Creek. Comments or questions relating to any of the topics listed below may be sent via E-mail to editor@taddlecreekmag.com [1], or via post to P.O. Box 611, Station P, Toronto, Ontario M5S 2Y4.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor should include the writer’s full name, address, and daytime phone number, only the first of which will be published. All letters become the property of Taddle Creek and may be reproduced, in part or in full, in any medium. Letters may be edited for length or clarity. The magazine reserves the right to mock any nasty or especially silly letters. Due to the volume of letters received, Taddle Creek should have no problem responding to all letters in a timely fashion.
Submissons
Submissions may be sent via E-mail or post, but only after a thorough reading of the Taddle Creek Guidelines for Submission [2], found elsewhere on this site. Please do not contact the magazine to check on the status of your submission until at least six months have passed.
Subscriptions
Subscriptions may be ordered elsewhere on this site [3]. Subscription queries or problems will be dealt with promptly, provided the subscriber contacts the magazine at one of the above addresses. Please inform Taddle Creek of any changes of address.
Back Issues
Back issue information is found elsewhere on this site [4]. Many back issues are still available. If you are looking for an issue containing a specific story, but do not know when it appeared, check the publication date at the end of the story’s on-line counterpart, or drop the magazine a line.
The Taddle Creek Guidebook to Fact-Checking Fiction
Think all fiction is fictional? Think again. This handy, sixteen-page chapbook has become the darling of the Toronto literary-reference scene, and it can be yours for only five dollars, payable by cheque, money order, or well-concealed cash sent to the above address. A must-have for any true editor of fiction or poetry. (Sorry, true believer, The Taddle Creek Guidebook to Fact-Checking Fiction is sold out. If you still want one, let the magazine know and, if demand is high enough, perhaps a second edition will be in order.)

Rights to individual works published in Taddle Creek remain the property of the authors. No part of the print or on-line version of this periodical may be reproduced in any form without the consent of Taddle Creek or the individual authors. In the case of photocopying or other reproductive copying, a licence from Access Copyright [5], (800) 893-5777, must be obtained.

Review Material
Taddle Creek does not publish book reviews [6]. The magazine will happily accept books sent its way, and will keep or dispose of them depending on their perceived quality and ability to interest, but it will not write about them unless they have been written by a Taddle Creek contributor.
Advertising
Every advertising dollar sent Taddle Creek’s way is one less dollar taken from the pockets of Mr. and Mrs. Canadian Taxpayer via the government grants the magazine so loves to receive. And advertising dollars are tax deductible! Advertising in Taddle Creek brings your product to the attention of a small but … interesting group of magazine readers, many of whom are in that sexy eighteen-to-thirty-five age demographic, and many more of whom are in that more financially sound above-thirty-five age bracket. Many of Taddle Creek’s readers are writers and artists in their own right, but Taddle Creek is so good, even non-artists (i.e., people with money) and people who don’t normally read fiction enjoy its glossy pages twice a year. Want to learn more? Why not request a copy of the Taddle Creek Advertising Rate Card and/or an advertising kit by writing to one of the above addresses?
Media Requests
Everyone loves to see their name in print, and Taddle Creek is no exception. With so many publications out there yet to write a story on the magazine, there’s still time to do so without looking like a bandwagon jumper. If you’d like to write something—anything—about Taddle Creek, please contact the magazine at one of the above addresses, and Taddle Creek will spill its guts to you. Don’t forget to check out the About [7] page, and/or request a copy of the Taddle Creek Sheet of Shameless Self-Promotion.
Circulation
A near-complete list of stores carrying Taddle Creek can be found elsewhere on this site [8]. If you still have a question about where to find the magazine, or if you’d like to see Taddle Creek available at your local newsstand, please write to one of the above addresses.
