FAQ about PagesMag.com
Pages Editorial Services has done one thing, and only one thing, for nearly 60 years: produce affordable, ready-to-use content for newsletters. We are a small, family-founded company based in Indiana, and when you call us, a real person answers — often the owner. We write the articles, provide the cartoon and puzzles, and supply the images, so you can fill your newsletter quickly, without copyright worries and without spending a fortune.
What Pages provides
Every month we publish a fresh batch of original material you can drop straight into your own newsletter: informative and fun articles, images, cartoons, and puzzles. You choose the pieces you want and use them however you like. If you would rather start with a finished newsletter, we also offer ready-made editions you can customize and print.
Who uses Pages
Two groups rely on us most. The first is marketers, especially organizations who reach seniors: senior apartment and manufactured-home communities, assisted living facilities, senior centers, Medicare and Medicare Advantage agents, fiduciary financial advisors, real estate agents, small business people, and retirement groups. The second is the people who produce employee newsletters inside companies: human resources staff and office managers who need dependable articles on workplace safety, health, and everyday living.
We have seen thousands of newsletters over the years written by people in virtually every business and walk of life. At one time, we even taught seminars about how to publish newsletter.
Our three services
Content Service
This is the heart of what we do. For a low monthly cost, you get a steady supply of articles, images, cartoons, and puzzles to use in any newsletter you produce. Pick what fits your audience and skip the rest.
Good News finished newsletters
Good News is a set of complete, ready-to-edit newsletters, each with a different focus: a Seniors edition, a Home and Money edition centered on personal finance, a Safety and Health edition, and a Business and Technology edition. Each issue arrives with articles, a cartoon, a puzzle, images, and a layout. Good News subscribers also get full access to the Content Service.
Housecalls
Housecalls is a finished real estate newsletter you can personalize and send to your clients and prospects.
Why people choose Pages
Newsletter content is our only business. We are not a software platform with content on the side — producing newsletter material is all we do, and have done for decades.
It is affordable. Our content is priced for small and community-level publications, not big budgets.
A human answers the phone. Every business day you can reach a real person, usually an owner, ready to help with any newsletter question.
The content is original and copyright-safe. You can use our articles, cartoons, puzzles, and images in your newsletter without the copyright headaches that come from pulling material off the open web.
It is flexible. Swap stories, mix and match, and personalize freely. Even put your own byline on them.

Frequently asked questions
What does Pages Editorial Services do?
Pages produces affordable, original content for newsletters — articles, images, cartoons, and puzzles — and offers finished, ready-to-edit newsletters. Customers use the material in newsletters they send to clients, residents, members, or employees.
What is the Content Service?
The Content Service is a monthly supply of articles, images, cartoons, and puzzles that you drop into your own newsletter. You choose the pieces you want to use.
Do you offer finished newsletters I can print?
Yes. Our Good News service includes complete, ready-to-edit newsletter designs in Seniors, Home and Money, Safety & Health, and Business & Technology editions. Housecalls is a finished real estate/mortgage newsletter. All can be customized before you print or email them.
Where can I find newsletter stories and images for seniors?
Pages publishes ready-to-use senior content every month: things to do, health, money, nostalgia and history — plus puzzles, cartoons and images. Everything is written and formatted to pop straight into your newsletter. Choose from our monthly selection of 60 new articles and images to go with each article. If they wish, subscribers can change anything in an article, even put their own byline on it. But they don’t have to change anything. It’s all ready to go.
Senior centers, senior living apartments, retirement communities, assisted living facilities, Councils on Aging, Medicare agents and home care companies use it.
Where can I get safety stories for my newsletter?
You can always dig through OSHA, NIOSH, CDC and state safety-agency websites yourself — the data is public and it’s good. The catch is that it arrives as statistics, PDFs and press releases, not as something you can drop into a newsletter. Turning it into a readable story is hours of work, every month.
**We’ve already done that work.** Pages delivers short, information-filled safety stories written to newsletter length — the facts pulled out, the jargon stripped, the piece sized to fit a column. Workplace safety, home safety, personal safety, equipment, office and manufacturing. Copy, paste, publish.
Can I legally reuse articles I find on the web in my newsletter?
Usually not — and this is where newsletter creators get into trouble. Most content on the open web is copyrighted, and stock-image and cartoon licensing is a real expense. Pages content is original and subscribers can use it without fear of copyright violation and no special permission. You can reprint, personalize, shorten and even put your own byline on stories.
Can my small community newspaper use the Pages content service?
Yes, ad-supported publications (shoppers, weekly, daily, monthly) are welcome to subscribe to Pages. Add one of our puzzles or cartoons to your newspaper pages! We offer a horoscope, jokes, quotes, and topical stories that fit perfectly over that big ad, and brief stories that even fill classified spaces. With Pages, always online and instantly available with archives stretching to 10 years, you don’t give yourself another job of thinking up with content. It’s done. Get it now.
How much does it cost?
Pages is built to be affordable for small and community publications. Pages costs $225 per year, with a $20 discount for new subscribers just to try us out. Most of our subscribers use a puzzle, cartoon, and one or two other items in their newsletters. That makes the cost about $3 per item.
