Sponsors may not be approved if they aren’t a good fit for our newsletters’ audience or appear to conflict with Jane’s mission of serving writers.
Refund and cancellation policy: After the sponsorship has been paid for, approved, and confirmed for placement, it will not be refunded. However, sponsorships can be rescheduled for a later date or transferred to someone else.
