Mothers News is supported almost entirely by advertising. by keeping the ad rate very low, we are able to provide a forum for people who would otherwise be priced out of advertising in a national publication. This category of entity includes punks, noisers, weird stores, artistes, and grey-market businesses. Advertising in Mothers News is a great way to draw attention to your business, band/label/record, book/zine/comic, art project, upcoming performance, particular talent, birthday, or just yourself, as a participant in the world. Perfect for businesses and non-businesses alike! Our team of designers will gladly design your ad for free!

Please Note: advertising space in Mothers News is limited, so please get your order for an ad in as early as possible. You needn't have all the information together- once we get the order in we will contact you about your design needs and time frame. if you would like to take out an ad a few months in the future we can certainly accommodate!

Business Rate

the business rate for advertisements in Mothers News is just $15 a vertical inch. Our ad columns are 2.5" wide, so a 2x2.5" ad is $30, a 3x2.5" ad is $45, and so on. If you prebuy 3 months of ads, you get the 4th month free!

this rate applies to businesses that advertise in other locations, businesses that are "above ground", and projects that are successful enough to be like "here's to added support for this totally crazy thing that I love (Mothers News)".

Ad Design

• You Design It

For those of you designing your own email a gif tiff or jpg to MN@mothersnews.net. we'll need it in greyscale, at 300dpi, to size. our ad columns are 2.5" wide.

• We Design It

the Mothers News advertising team will gladly design your ad at no additional charge, given some text to work from. Due to time constraints, if we design your ad you will NOT be able to OK it or even see it until it is already printed in the paper. we are aware this is not how things usually work, but we have had no complaints thus far from any of our advertisers. a selection of previous ads can be seen on our tumblr.
