Dear Ian Surprisingly AP is considered one of the best magazines in the country for payment of freelance submissions. This is mostly because they are weekly and use a lot of outside contributors.
A few years ago I was approached by a freelance writer to do a puff piece on my work. I considered it to be useful free PR for myself and provided a few pictures not expecting payment. Like you I was surprised to get £240 in the post. If only all self promotion was so easy.

They kept my work on file and said they wanted to publish in a special edition, so they did this christmas edition. So after 12 months something. Yes I know, I wasn’t expecting any monies, but a cheque arrived this morning for inclusion, after no mention of any payment. >> =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
