Dear listserve members:

Printed Circuit Design magazine is always interesting in publishing
technical articles written by knowledgeable engineers and designers of
printed circuit boards and related technologies. Folks just like YOU!

Whether you've written a white paper that would make an interesting
article, a full-length article that hasn't been published elsewhere or
you just have a great idea for an article, we're interested in hearing
from you. Simply e-mail your 100-500 word abstract or full-length
article to PCD Senior Editor Ronda Faries ([email protected]). Unless
your e-mail arrives right at deadline (ouch!) or we're overwhelmed
with responses to this e-mail, you can expect a reply in 5-10 days.

Whether you'd like to write an article but can't decide on a topic or
you just want to see what's coming down the pike, check out our 1999
editorial calendar at the end of this message. Remember, we want YOU
to be a PCD author.

Regards,

Ronda Faries
