Logically the final days before a magazine goes to press are the worst times to pitch to an editor.

But is that week (3rd week of the month? 4th?) fairly consistent across magazines? If it varies by publication, "worst week" might be a useful piece of information to include in the "pitch" profiles.

And if there's a worst week, what's the best week? All sources of advice appreciated!

Every magazine is different. And sometimes two weeks of the month are total crunch time and the other two are very slow. At my publication I feel extremely busy every week of the month!

Many magazines + not so many printering companies = scheduling 'round the month.
