FAQ

How do I download an issue?  First log in, then you will be able see links to all of your available issues. If you need to renew your subscription, go here. 

On an issue page, there are three files available at the top of the page; ePub, mobi, and PDF. Click on each link to download the associated file. Right-clicking will offer you additional options, depending on your browser and computer type. Contact us if you have any trouble accessing your issue. 

How do I cancel a monthly or auto-renewing subscription? Sign into your PayPal account and navigate to your Preapproved Payments page. You can see and change your payments from there.

How do I give a gift subscription?

Pick the subscription you want to give as a gift from locusmag.com/subscribe. Click on that button and fill out the form with the information of the person you want to receive the subscription, including their email address, name, mailing address, and so on. Be sure to select the "This email is different from my PayPal email" and put whatever you'll use at PayPal there.
 
Put a note in the "Additional comments for the office" box that this is a gift, and add your name/email address. When you check out, you'll be sent to PayPal. Pay however you prefer there.
 
We will email you a gift card that you can print out or email to your gift recipient, and we will get their subscription going. If they have an account on the site, their issues will be added to that one. If not, one will be created for them, and they'll get an email telling them how to use it so they can download their digital issues.
