What exactly is Two-Lane Livin'?
Two-Lane Livin' is classified as a magazine. With a full-color cover and back page, and newsprint paper on black ink on most of the inner pages, Two-Lane Livin', is designed to be a guide to entertainment, recreation and healthy living in Central West Virginia.

Distributed once a month, 15,000 copies of Two-Lane Livin' are distributed through the counties of the Central West Virginia region, including Braxton, Calhoun, Clay, Gilmer, Roane, Lewis, Wirt, Nicholas, and Doddridge, Upshur and Ritchie Counties. Readers can find copies on store counters, in waiting rooms, laundromats, court houses and other venues throughout the region.

On the first day of every month, the main features of Two-Lane Livin's publication are updated online at www.twolanelivin.com. Also during the first week of every month, a two-hour Two-Lane Internet Radio Show expands upon the contents of each month's issue.

What information is in Two-Lane Livin'? Who writes it?
Regional news highlights are provided by each county newspaper within the region. The event calendar is created by scouting regional announcements in print and on the web and via submissions. Press releases from state offices, parks, and groups are also reviewed every month for publication.

Columnists for the magazine have been recruited from the local region. Some are published in other local media, some have never written for print before, but all of them are knowledgeable in their field. Topics covered by our columnists include: preventative medicine, holistic nutrition, organic gardening, local plant and wildlife, recycling, saving money, regional travel, real estate tips, parenting tips, music reviews, lessons in faith, community development, and more.

Where can I get a copy?
Our print edition is the only version of our output that includes all we have to offer. The crossword puzzle and kid's activity page, news highlights, classifieds and press releases are not always published on our web site. 

Print copies are distributed into fourteen counties of the Central West Virginia region.

Our list of distribution locations is constantly growing. But you can easily find our publication each month in waiting rooms, on college campuses in the region, in county court houses, laundromats and local stores and restaurants. Look for our display rack.

If Two-Lane Livin' is free to the reader, how it is funded?
We do not charge for our print copies. Because it is free, our publication reaches a unique, expanded audience in additional locations and venues. The magazine, web site, and radio show are all funded by advertising dollars, sponsorships and donations. We also receive income through our online store at www.twolaneshoppin.com.
