NOW is the time - 8/06

[Smartmarriages]

Don't waste the lazy, hazy days of August! NOW is the time to be "planting"
magazine articles for Feb's valentine's Day/Love issues.  If you've got an
idea and a contact w/ a reporter at any of the big glossies, pitch them now.
This is also true for your regional magazines and for TV news magazines.
They work 6 months out and need that much time to pitch, assign, interview
experts, find couples, do photos and layout.

Also, NOW is the time to be planning your Marriage Week celebrations.
Marriage Week is Feb 7 - 14, and it takes at least six months to plan,
reserve the hall, nail down speakers, alert the mayor and the media, print
brochures, etc.
