OVAH MAG is a queer culture and lifestyle magazine out of Harlem, run by Corey Wesley. We cover music, interviews, wellness, fashion, food and life after dark. Our readers run from millennials to Gen X.
If you own a small business and want to reach them, we kept it easy on your budget. You pay one flat fee. You’re not paying per click or per view, and the price doesn’t change once you book.

| What you get | Flat fee |
|---|---|
| Sponsored Article Your story, published as a full article on OVAH MAG. It stays up on the site. | $250 |
Every sponsored article, including one we write for you, can run up to 1,000 words. Each extra 500 words is $50 more.
What we need
- A finished article written by a person. We don’t accept AI-written articles, and we check every one.
- A writer’s name on it. We’d rather have a real writer’s byline than a company name.
How it runs
- Labeled Sponsored at the top, so readers know it’s paid.
- One link to your site, tagged as sponsored for Google.
- Placed in the section that fits, like After Dark.
We review every article before it runs. We don’t run anything hateful or anything that tears down our community.
Want us to write it?
- We can write the article for you for an additional fee. It runs under OVAH MAG’s name and is still labeled Sponsored.
- The writing fee is $150, so $400 in all with the sponsored article.
Ad sizes
Boxes are drawn to scale. On a phone, a billboard shrinks to fit the screen, so keep your words big and your logo easy to see.
Booking your ad
How it works
- Pick your space and your term.
- Email us your ad at the size listed. We’ll check it and let you know if anything needs fixing.
- Pay the flat fee in full, and your ad goes up.
We review every ad before it runs. We don’t run anything hateful or anything that tears down our community.
What to send
- Your ad as a JPG or PNG at the exact size for your space.
- The web address you want people to land on when they click it.
Want it extra sharp on newer phones and laptops? Send it at double the size (1940 x 500 for a billboard, 600 x 1200 for the sidebar) and we’ll scale it down.
Change your ad as you go
- 3 months: one ad for the full run.
- 6 months: swap in a new ad every two months.
- 12 months: swap in a new ad every two months, so up to six ads over the year.
Voices
Representation matters. It doesn’t always have to be in front of the camera. Sometimes you can be orchestrating behind the camera. As a queer Black man in America, this is my platform to share and show that we all matter.
