Have You Ever Been Published?

Has your name ever appeared in print, ANYWHERE?

Ever write an article for the school newspaper?

Ever appear IN the school newspaper?

A company newsletter?

Your local paper?

A big paper?

A magazine?

A book?

Anything?!?!!??!

Just for the sake of full disclosure. I've appeared in four newspapers, two large, two small. Two magazines. Two school newspapers and the company newsletter.

As soon as I sit down and write my first book I'll have all the bases covered.

What about you?

Have had four books, three novellas, and a short story published.

Are they the novels with Fabio on the cover?

;)

I've never had Fabio, but that's okay. He's not my favorite cover model.

Lulu, read a romance first. You'll like it. :)

although I have never READ a romance novel....I just think it would be kind of fun...

My largest is about 100,000.
edit: wait if you count letters.....I'd say about 300,000 is my largest.

which was rather big

but I've also had LTTE printed in Time, Newsweek and Rolling Stone.

in various literary magazines back in the early 90's.

Haven't written a thing since I got my Creative Writing Masters Degree. Go figure...

I got an unfinished novel in the drawer, but then again, who doesn't...

2 newspapers. 1 magazine and 2 school newletters.

Once I was a poet. Wouldn't ya know it?

TV commercials, radio commercials, newspaper and magazine ads, billboards and direct mail. You've seen stuff I've done on TV, and thrown my writing in the trash.

If I had known YOU wrote it, I would have read it! :evilgrin:

That's what they all say.

I promise to read it, honest! O8)

do it for me!

The last one I got was so well crafted, so full of emotion, so compelling.... "Yes!" I thought, "I REALLY MUST transfer my balance to this card! It makes perfect sense! :evilgrin:"

to vote...so I'll go with book, and I am not WP.

cover local government in Upstate New York ...school boards, towns and villages, etc. I've worked for three different weekly papers and one daily. I was also featured in an article about internet message boards in the New York Times (about five or six years ago, when they weren't so common.) I was on the school newspaper, editor of our high school poetry magazine and have had other small pieces published.
Mostly I do PR for a living.

Published by Gage Canada

Long out of print.

Had my first novel published a couple of years ago. I'm a professional satirist for a Canadian magazine called Frank. And I've done some entertainment writing for a daily paper up here. (Got to interview Natalie Portman in Beverley Hills. ooh la la!)

Back 30 years ago. Now I'm mentioned in articles about the board I'm on and if the local Dems have an article in the paper.

I had a killer LTTE in AutoWeek once! Some people still remark on it. ;) It related to sexism, Frankfurt Auto Show, and the Porsche 959.

I used to be half of the team that put together the underground newspaper at my college when I was an undergrad. I did the political commentary and the sports and the fake advertising. :-) It was FUN!

I've also had LTTE published in my local newspaper back home and in the regular old boring college newspaper.

Lord know how many magazine pieces over the years. Haven't done much in quite a few years though. It gets old, and the pay and lack of benefits is beyond lousy. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they already had contacts in publishing; it's a waste of time otherwise. For the most part, you can assume that markets are closed to new unknown writers and have been for several years.

I wrote for my high-school paper and literary magazine. I wrote articles for the newsletter at the day camp where I worked. I had a story published in my college literary magazine. I was copy editor, features editor and editor-in-chief of my college paper (at different times).
I now edit a trade publication serving the cleaning industry. I've also freelanced for an education magazine, and received contributor credit for a book put out by my company.

I have never written anything that appeared in a community or national newspaper (although I've been quoted in both) or a newsstand magazine. I've never actually written a book -- the contributor credit was for previous work that was excerpted.

...and have tried unsuccessfully to get it published. I'm now at a point where I'm convinced that it needs a major rewrite. I'm just trying to work up the energy to do it as this will be something like the eighth revision!

Journal of Entomology Science
Journal of Neuroscience Research

I can't even spell "entomology."

:evilgrin:

then how the hell did he ever have time to write a book and put up 20,000 posts? *confused look*

Back in the earlier days of DU, a freeper posted that no way did DU have as many members that it did at the time. He posited that all the registered members were Will under assumed names.

:D

I was here. Just trying to tease you about your high post count/lack of a life (and not doing a very good job of it apparently.) :-)

...*thwap*

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

I am he
as you are he
as you are me
as we are all together

maybe one day I'll be able to make a living doing so.

NAAAAAAAAAAAAh.

isn't it. ;-)

We are ALL Will Pitt. *snort*

does he have a multi-personality disorder? :)

freelanced for a couple of other local music mags. I've had some other articles published as well, but my biggest was getting a humorous essay published in the Boston Globe.

quotes as an gay/Dem. activist; op-eds, letters, a profile by Howie Kurtz in the Washington Post....frontal assualts on live TV by both O-Reilly and Hannity. And just wait until grow up!

Well, Magic Rat I may have just blown my "cover" at least to the DC crowd...but that's cool. I'll get more respect when Duers eventually figure out who I am.

in a fairly large paper

so much so they asked me to be on the board of conrtibutors which i had to decline, and I wrote a column in a weekly magazine in several cities for a few months until computer porblems forced me to have to bail on it

I wrote articles for the school newspaper one year. Then it folded because of censorship. I have had poems and an essay published in the local newspaper. I wrote the theme poem for prom for my school. My short story was published in the county literary magazine. I had one article published in my college newspaper. I also wrote the Panhellenic sorority recruitment book for my college. I'm a bit out of practice writing wise. I used to write in all of my spare time. Maybe, that's why I'm on DU so often. This is a little bit like writing.

have been published in the Dallas Morning News, the Austin American-Stateman, and the Houston Post. :D

SERIOUS...IT'S ME! :P

if you'd have said something sooner we could have avoided the whole issue of "parental permission". ;-)

Always looking on the Bright Side of Life.

preceded by one self-published book and a few dozen articles.

Here's a title for a book I'll never write about the Second Amendment:

"The Uncivil Right"

up until written a book. There's still time for that, right?

It is the coolest job in the world!

Google "A Lover's Guide to the Kama Sutra"...I'm hot, I tell ya!

On edit...the title I listed earlier is attributed to another author!

and other detective magazines.
I'm also in a couple of paperback anthologies of true crime writing.
Traditional Home
Greater Portland (Maine) magazine
Sweetpotato (a Portland, Maine, music tabloid, probably now defunct.)

called SCRIBBLE. Published a couple other places. Run open mic sessions. Couple screenplays produced (as small low budget indie films).

For what it is, it has done very well.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

I've honestly never thought of it that way... Me, the "Dangling Participle Queen" was "published"? I'm in shock. :-)

Twice. It's called Molly Ringwald in the Green Room and it's a feminist sex farce about a thirtysomething man and his relationship with his teenage sexual fantasy of Molly Ringwald.

but I write puzzles for "Dell Logic Puzzles" and "Games" magazines.

and, sadly, 3 unpublished science fiction novels.

Their online archive does not go back that far, so I cannot get a copy. It was about global overpopulation--hey that is still a problem!

I made them up, but you have to SWEAR they are true!); lots of LTTE's, several of which pissed off a great many people; writer/editor/photog for several newsletters (freelance and at various workplaces); several original recipes in recipe mags.

And yes, I, too, have a half-finished novel on a disk. . .

in magazines, newspapers, and in two poetry anthology books. My first poem was published in '83.

1.5 years in the Native media in the Canadian Arctic, some freelance travel writing in the UK, US and Canada, boating magazines, and six years in the Caribbean media.

I was St. Maarten's first restaurant reviewer (400 bars and restaurants and 16 casinos in 37 square miles) and did some investigative reporting as well as overseeing all supplements as an editor at a daily for a few years.

Then I shot out and had my own publication on the island but a hurricane wiped us out. There was six feet of water in our living room (I measured the water marks on the wall). Living on a beach is nice. But not in a cyclone.

Actually we endured seven hurricanes in all. They were not all severe but Luis, Marilyn and George were category four and that is waaaay to much for such small island in the Caribbean. You can only see so much despair so many times, before it really gets to you.

In the end I was doing hard news and a first hand view of a rapid crime rise due to a fall in tourism from 9-11... it was time to go. We had children and decided to head back to Europe where we now live. And I don't miss it. I look forward packing the kids and wife into the van and heading to Italy and Greece next summer. The Caribbean was a great place to spend our twenties. We had a lot of fun!

Best times?

Interviewing Canada's first female astronaut, Roberta Bondar and taking a long walk with her discussing what the Northern Lights looked like from 'up there'. It was a particularly vivid lightshow that night.

Doing a cover story on Wildman chef Anthony Bourdain (A Cook's Tour, Kitchen Confidential) on the beach, before taking him to the my favourite Johnny Cake shack (he loved it), where copious amounts of rum and beer were consumed. The man is absolutely hilarious.

Currently in transition. New country, new life, new job? Not yet.

in dozens of big and small publications

when I was in college some of us students put out an alternative newspaper called the "Student Voice" (re-named by those who didn't like it as the Student VOMIT, haha :argh: ) and I wrote a couple of articles and got a by-line. :-)
