Annual
guide to Singles Publications, Nationwide by Janet L. Jacobsen Whether you're heading out on vacation or moving somewhere new, it's nice to know when you get there what's going on for singles. So we bring you our annual up-dated list of singles publications around the country. We've attempted to make the list as complete and up-to-date as possible, but keep in mind that things change regularly in singles publishing. The entries that say "No other info" mean I have gotten the information from an outside source, but have not actually seen a copy of the publication myself. "No recent info" means that we believe they are still publishing because the mail we send them doesn't come back, but it's been a while since I've seen a copy. An "SPA" designation at the end of a listing means the publication is currently a member of the Singles Press Association, an informal national network to promote high standards of service and ethics among singles publications. Subscription prices are for one year unless otherwise noted. Since singles publications, like any others, can change owners, prices or policies, contact them first, or just order a sample, before you send money for a subscription. Copyright 2001 Single Scene.
