money for nothin’, and chicks for free

So here’s what happened with that gig – I wrote a couple of paragraphs for some kids movies I got to watch for free, as I was still working at the theatre at the time. Most of them weren’t great (“Underdog” was passable and even a bit funny in places). This lasted for…three issues? I think? At which point the publisher decided to have his wife write the reviews instead.

Shortly thereafter, the magazine disappeared. I’m fairly certain that I had nothing to do with it. In the end I did actually get a cheque, and though it was modest I was just happy to have had the opportunity. [November 9, 2011]

  1. To clarify, handing out homemade pamphlets does not constitute “publishing”, even if they pretend to read them until you turn your back…

  2. I can’t believe you are proud of being published in that rag of a magazine. I’m quite certain that I could scribble something down on paper, and it could make it in there.

  3. well… the magazine did suck, but your article…. GOLD! plus, i’m glad to hear winkler’s getting yet another church expansion. it’s what i prayed for!
