It’s impossible to ignore the effects from COVID-19 around the globe. Our routines have changed, and many of us are staying at home. You might be wondering how this affects Garden Railways or other magazines at Kalmbach Media. I’m here to put your mind at ease and answer a few questions.
Is Kalmbach Media still open?
Yes, though most of us are working remotely from home. A few employees may be in the building (for example, to ship out orders from our website).
Will my magazine arrive on time?
We’re doing all we can to make this happen. The Summer issue is complete and nearly at the printers. Please know that we can’t help delays from the printer and/or the postal service. I’m not aware of any delays at the moment, but this could change.
How can I reach editorial?
The best way is through email. It’s the fastest way to get an answer. If you call our office, please leave a voice mail and someone will call you back.
Are you still accepting submissions?
Yes! If you have a photo for Reader’s gallery, a Letter or a manuscript suggestion, send it to editor@gardenrailway.com.
I submitted an article that was accepted. Will I still get paid?
Yes, payments are being sent as usual.
Will I still receive my author copy?
Yes, we are still mailing out author copies as usual. There may be a few days’ delay compared to usual, as not everyone is in the office as often.
What can I do in the meantime?
Enjoy the hobby! Run some trains, work on a project, take videos and share them (virtually) with others. Participate in our forum, browse our site and <
