MIYO - an international magazine for urban modernists who appreciate the finer
things in life - is looking for some good freelance writers to write about the
following: art/music scene, lifestyles - home/office decor or recipes,
cultural/social issues, and short-fiction.

In a nutshell, we feature up and coming people and report on emerging trends and
issues all on an international scale.

Since we are a new magazine, we are unable to pay our writers; however, our
freelancers have the option of publishing their bio in our contributor's page
along with their links or contact number printed in the magazine.

Please feel free to contact me at msh...@miyomag.com

Thank you,
Marian Shiua

I enjoy the finer things in life, too. Which is one of the reasons I
demand payment. Being a new magazine is hardly any reason to stiff the people
who are going to make or break your magazine..the writers.

Great! Sign me up right now! As long as your magazine is free, I have no
complaint against contributing my valuable time and experience for free.
Otherwise, what planet are you from?
If you don't have the finances to pay your writers, you're bloody silly
to be attempting to start a new magazine, aren't you?
"Hello? Sardi's Ristoraunte? I'd like to make a reservation, table for
one. I'm planning on writing a critique for bloody Marian Shuia at Miyo
Publishing. I'd like a free meal, so that I may offer my delicate tastebuds'
expert perusal of your fine cuisine, and possibly criticize it in an
up-and-coming international magazine for urban modernists who appreciate the
finer things in life, but have no smeggin' income! No--I don't get paid,
either, thank you very much. Oh? Table will be ready sevenish? Ahhhh.
Wonderful. I'll be there sevenish. Do you have a parking valet? Excellant!
I'll be the one driving the 1978 Chrysler Cordoba with half of the roof and
body rusted off. I'll be seeing you soon. Thank you so very much!"
Silly twit. I can publish my bio and link here or anywhere for free, and
write with the freedom of expression your tightwad "ragazine" would never
allow me.
See? zap...@voyager.com I didn't have to write a critique, short fiction,
or anything, now, did I?

I'm hoping against hope that they go after those e-mails like they did
Monica, and finally uncover a shitload of pornographic spams. It will
serve Clintagonists right.

Damn straight.

There's some new Canadian sports mag out there that is looking for
writers. Right up my alley, too.

"We can't pay our writers" they say, "but you can be an editor?"

And still not get paid?

The only ones that don't pay are mickey mouse operations. This is my
LIVELIHOOD. I do not work for free. I've got more rants about this on my
website... NEVER WORK FOR FREE.

hey, you can say what you want. the first time around i had some terrific
writers working for me ... mainly people who had other jobs and/or sources
of income ... they weren't looking for another, they just wanted to have a
good time.

firewall offered them something they weren't getting normally. you wanna be
a prick about it, go ahead. if you're a professional writer and you feel
that this is "beneath" you, please: don't waste my time or your own.

i am not a professional writer, therefore i have no such pretentions about
getting paid to do so. but i totally see your point. ask me to do some
graphic design for free and i'll hand you your teeth.

so, to each his own ... if you're not cool with it, don't email me.

But you don't see the hypocracy in all of this do you? It is okay for
you to poach on our turf, but if anybody did the same thing on yours.....

In that case why post to "journalism" newsgroups? By definition a
journalist (whether staff or freelance) is someone who earns his/her
living by writing. In other words a "professional writer".

Nothing to do with pretensions. I'm not a professional singer and will
gladly sing for free in a tavern of your choice. I may even get paid (to
stop). That doesn't mean that I expect professional singers to perform
for free at my birthday party.

Try posting your messages in the right place the first time, and do
everyone a favour.

Not at all. Posts in newsgroups are, unfortunately, wide-range missles.
Sometimes you have to throw something out there for the few that will be
interested and just acknowledge that most won't be.

If I saw a post for some free graphic design work in a gd newsgroup, I'd
simply skim by ... but that's not to say that it was a waste of a post.
There just might be some graphic designers out there who find the post
interesting and choose to respond.

Stop being so defensive and just move on.

If this is original subject line, you didn't make it clear
you wanted free copy.

People starting out in journalism may feel that writing
for free is a 'given' in the early days of a career. Those of us who
earn a living from writing know different - you know different.

QED: don't be surprised when this fact is pointed out to beginners.

A polite suggestion: make it clear you want something for nothing
in your subject line and the pros. will ' simply skim by' - as you put it.
