Authors are asked to submit a certain number of pull quotes or art ideas for their pieces. Once we have the preliminary layout, including "art holes" (blank spaces that make the text layout work to our standards), we can decide which spaces can be filled with quotes or existing, appropriate art, and we contract an artist or artists for pieces to fill those holes that need new pieces. Final layout isn't done until the holes are filled.

FWIW, I'm writing freelance contracts now (flexing those "former managing editor" muscles) and I can tell you that I've written several GURPS contracts since the start of the year and have another in my "to write" queue. So things *are* moving.
