Hi guys!
I apologize in advance for the shameless plug. I know we don’t know each other too well, but I hope that’s all about to change. I’ve recently been hired as an editor for a general interest/lifestyle magazine. One of the sections I handle is Fastlane which deals with tech, culture, movies and books. I’ve read the reviews here and absolutely love their sincere and personal style.
That in mind, I’d like to invite everyone who’s interested to continue the good work you’ve done here for publication in print. All I request is short reviews (700 to 1000 words) on books (or music albums) you’ve recently read (or heard) or find truly interesting. Include high res photo of the book (or album cover), if possible. No pro-bono here. We will compensate you with the regular contributor fee.
Feel free to email your works to inigo.roces @ yahoo. com (Ignore the spaces. That’s to confuse the spambots) with the subject “Book Review”. Don’t forget to put your full name and contact number (So I can contact you for further details).
This is Paolo (a.k.a. “ipis dei”). I know which particular “general interest/lifestyle” magazine you’re referring to, and I would definitely like to contribute. I’m familiar with your writing, and the Fastlane section, in general.
Full disclosure: i’m also trying to submit work to the, er, upstart rival mag of the one you work for. You *know* which one I mean, i’m sure.
I trust that this won’t be a conflict of interest, as long as I turn in completely different material for each publication, right?
Do expect an email from me, before the week ends. Cheers!
