How the Process Works and Uses

Editors like to work in different ways and here are some examples:

• You can make lists of words or personalities or companies you want included in the crossword puzzle and Myles will create the crossword puzzle based on these.
• You can send over upcoming articles on which the crossword puzzle will be based to ensure the puzzle matches the subject matter of the current issue.
• You can send back issues and website links for Myles to research and produce the crossword puzzles himself.
• You can simply ask for a crossword puzzle on a specific theme and Myles will research it and produce a puzzle for you.
• Myles is very willing to make any needed changes to crossword puzzles as needed to ensure you are happy with them.
• Invoices are sent electronically and are payable according to your magazine's procedures on this- either on acceptance or publication. Checks and payment stubs should reference the invoice numbers of crossword puzzles sent where possible.
• Crossword puzzles can be used in many ways. A puzzle can be included in the print edition of the magazine and the solution on the website, to encourage website traffic.
• Interactive puzzles can be published and solved on the website. Ads can be placed close to the puzzles.
• Conferences and trade shows are great for crossword puzzles to educate and amuse your clients. Myles has done many puzzles on the locations of trade shows (e.g. Las Vegas) as well as covering the subject matter of the meeting. Click here to an example.
• Crosswords can be used as educational aids. Texas A and M University used one of Myles puzzles as an exam for sociology students.
• Crossword puzzles can be an add on for advertisers - see the Pepsi crossword puzzle as an example.
• Advertisers are often interested in sponsoring crossword puzzles to promote their brands and also get advertising messages across.
