We must have your e-mail address to send you the digital edition, which is served by Zinio.

To access the Zinio edition, you will need to create an account on zinio.com using the e-mail address where you received the notice. If we don’t currently have your e-mail address on file, please e-mail us at custsvc_aperture@fulcoinc.com. To check what e-mail address we have on file or to update your e-mail, please click here.

Renewal notices are sent out well before your subscription expires. This is to ensure you have ample time to renew and do not miss an issue. If you have already renewed but are still receiving notices, please keep in mind that it can take up to two weeks for us to receive and process your payment. If it has been less than two weeks since you sent your payment, please disregard any notices that you receive, as our letters may have crossed in the mail.

Automatic Renewal is a no-risk option that means your subscription will be renewed at the end of your term unless you tell us to stop. Monthly archive-only subscriptions will be renewed at the beginning of every month. For everyone else, we’ll send a reminder approximately 30 days before the end of your subscription with the term and rate then in effect. If you do nothing, we will charge the payment method you’ve selected. You may sign up or cancel this feature by calling 866.457.4603 or emailing custsvc_aperture@fulcoinc.com at any time during your subscription term.
You can contact the editors by e-mail. Please do not send any unsolicited artwork, photographs, book maquettes, or manuscripts, as we cannot assume responsibility for their return.
