Dear Proven:
As a human resources manager, I deal with staffing and organizational issues all the time. I have found Proven magazine offers many excellent tools and ideas for human resource professionals, not only in the articles you publish but also in the advertisements you print.

Dear Catherina,
Thank you for the compliment. When we consider content for publication, even advertisements, our goal is to provide useful and effective information to our readers. We know our readers are busy with work and everyday tasks, so we want to make the magazine worth their time. Please feel free to submit a case study, article, or any other content you think will help others in your field.

Dear Proven:
I noticed on your Website that you have different types of agreements. Can you explain their purposes and the differences between them?

Dear Burt,
That is a good question. Proven provides three different types of agreements: Publication, Image, and Advertising. Our Publication Agreement gives us permission from the author to use their work in our print and online magazine. The Image Agreement gives us permission to use images provided along with the article that are either original to the author or that the author has permission from the creator to use. Finally, the Advertising Contract is a typical contract that gives us permission to use a given ad in print and online. I hope this helps.
