Hi Tom, Too bad they only had room for one of your shots and not the article, but don't take it too hard. Thirty days from initial inquiry to appearance in print is GREAT! And inside front cover sounds like pretty good placement to me. What Mike Johnson said makes a lot of sense -- let them know that you're interested if they have any future needs for photos, articles, etc. Perhaps another publication would be interested in the article and your other two photos, if Idaho Magazine is willing to give you a release. (Perhaps Idaho Magazine is intending to publish the article at a later date?) Don't know if you've given this any thought, but one option you might wish to pursue is to solicit companies which sell astronomical gear and see if they'd be interested in some of your work for their catalogs, web sites, and so forth. Again, congratulations on getting published, and good luck with future ventures. By the way, where do we write if we want to get a copy of the latest issue of Idaho Magazine?
