A few months ago I submitted an article to the TICA (The International Cat Association) Trend on my breed of cat. The editor made a few suggestions for changes (which I did) and resubmitted it to her. I never heard back though.
In the current issue of the Trend, they are advertising my article for the next issue! I found this out the same day I have a new litter of 5 kittens (guess who'll be getting copies of the magazine with their kittens this April). I also have my breed book publishing winter '06 (which also features a showcase of my photography), so I thought I'd take a minuet to say "yay me!"
I'm confused, though. If you never heard back, does that mean you also never signed a contract or got paid?
The Trend is a free for members magazine. So I don't get paid, but it makes a nice footnote for a nobody, and I keep all rights.
Ah! I get it now. I think I knew that. My brain has been on pause since the holidays.
