SUBJECT: Statement from Elements Magazine (Delivery Error and Photography/Artwork Solicitation)
Dear esteemed Elements readers,
Thank you very much for your enthusiastic support of Elements over the past nearly two decades of publications. Elements’ Editorial Team has two important announcements to share with subscribers.
(1) Delivery of Elements’ February Issue
A substantial number of Elements subscribers may not have received the February 2024 issue, “Extraterrestrial Organic Matter” (vol. 20, no. 1). This delivery problem resulted from a mailing label printing error in which Elements’ distributor unintentionally omitted the street address line. A deliverability analysis of the mailing list indicates that 4,252 non-U.S. subscribers were likely affected.
To correct this error, Elements’ distributor has agreed to reprint and redeliver the February issue to affected subscribers alongside Elements’ August issue (vol. 20, no. 4) in the form of a double-issue package. In other words, affected subscribers will receive their missing February issue alongside the August issue. The distributor has also implemented a series of control steps to avoid such errors from occurring in the future.
Both Elements’ distributor and editorial staff extend our sincere apologies for this delay and inconvenience. Please contact us at editor@elementsmagazine.org or elementsmagazine.org/contact if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.
(2) Call for Photography/Artwork
Elements is actively soliciting photography and/or visual artwork submissions on the general themes of the magazine (mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrology) to be featured in its inaugural Elements Joint Society Calendar (2025–2026).
Submissions can be made via e-mail (editor@elementsmagazine.org).
Please be sure to include (1) a descriptive caption (<30 words), (2) name of photographer/artist, and (3) contact e-mail. Please request an upload link for attachments greater than 15 MB.
Submission deadline: July 1
A confirmation e-mail will be sent within 24 hours after receipt. Please contact us if you do not receive a confirmation e-mail with this timeframe.
Thank you very much for your support—and keep reading!
Best regards,
Esther Posner, on behalf of Elements’ Editorial Team
